Videogames and global power inequalities: A study about the representations of the Global South in historically themed videogames released between 2000 and 2020

Master thesis | History (MA)

This thesis is about power relations behind the development of historically themed videogames set in the Global South. The thesis has taken into account games released in the Western World as well as in the Global South between 2000 and 2020. The main argument is that historically themed videogames set and developed in the Global South do not have the power to add to, differ from or change the representations made about their countries in the Western World.
