How can we decolonise history?

Make the structure a logical succession of arguments and not just arguments put one after the other and that have no links. Progression of the main argument all throughout the essay.
-short sentences: try to stay under 30 words, 15-25 preferably.
-short paragraphs: 5 to 8 sentences of 25 words per paragraph on average. One idea and one example per paragraph with at least a reference to
provide/support your idea. If the paragraph is over one page long, it is certainly too long. One paragraph will usually make around 200-250 words (+- 50
words).
-Remove all words or sentences that do not directly help you to make your point.
Critically analyse historiography and scholarly debate rather than just simply describing it. Don’t be neutral. Give judgement about how we can best
decolonise history using historians’ points of view as support. Show awareness of historiographical debate but favour one line of thinking from a group of
historians and explain why, using another historian’s view as further evidence for your argument.
General points to make:
1) We can stop using loaded descriiptions about other cultures and put our prejudices aside about western civilization being somehow more ‘developed’. By
using certain terminologies, we imply the West is somehow better or more enlightened than other societies – remove the Whig history outlook on the
‘development’ of certain nations, which is a socially constructed term made by the West.
2) We need to acknowledge the interference of Western scholarship in the historiographies of suppressed and underrepresented groups, e.g., slaves,
Indigenous people of Central and South America, etc.
3) We also need to discuss the roles that people of non-European descent played in European history.
