Critique of History, Ideologies, and Representation

The chapter explores critiques of history and ideologies, drawing from various thinkers like Sarid, Kant, and Foucault.

There is an in-depth analysis of how certain voices are marginalized in Western contexts and a critique of the work of Seid for concealing violence and racism inherent in secularism and modern power structures.
