This is the kind of thing we should learn in history class. It seems I'll never stop being surprised by how much my education was colonialized. I didn't learn a single thing about the Middle East, Africa or Asia in school. And very little about Latin America beyond my own country. It was all about Europe, with some bits of USA.

Exactly.
When I was in London for a few months I took a class "New Literatures In English". We read Margarete Atwood, Carol Shields, Rushdi, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Chinya Achebe and Derek Walcott.
All of them opened new worlds to me. I had never heard of any of them before (it was in 1996/97) and all of these books are important parts of my library. OK, except for Rushdi. I admit I did not read his book as I had already heard of him. :)
I then noticed that all of them had one thing in common: british colonialization.
But anyway, it was a highly important experience.
Just as I found that people did not know Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. He is Germany's most famous writer, as omnipresent as Shakespeare. That too was very much an eye opening experience. What I grew up with as unquestioned cultural heritage suddenly was not only questioned, but even met with most authentic indifference. Pretty disorienting, but I found it pretty rewarding.
Unfortunately there is a solid language barrier for so many other regions and I no longer trust translations. But I found that books, music, movies do have a lot of possibilities to expand one's horizon. Plus I very much love and treasure radio programs such as reports or interviews. TED talks can also be great at this, a gateway to "meet" new thoughts and points of view.
Thank you.

You would be well advised to read
Midnight's Children
if you only do one Rushdie. Blew my head open a bit (I was young), but a treat to read.
