Samir Amin (3 September 1931 – 21 August 2018) was an Egyptian Marxist who coined the term "Eurocentrism." He and Edward Said both criticized Eurocentrism, but Amin focused more on its economic aspects instead of culture. He also criticized postcolonialists who believed Marxism was Eurocentric.[1] Amin opposed Israel and believed that the Communist Party of China was dedicated to building socialism.[2]
