Settler colonialism

In Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera, the question of home is always close at hand. Questions such as what does it mean to be home and what is a home are constantly circulating throughout the text and tend to haunt the Mestiza body as a raced, foreign, and oriental body. She writes that “…in leaving home I did not lose touch with my origins because lo mexicano [emphasis original] is in my system. I am a turtle, wherever I go I carry ‘home’ on my back.” This is a crucial interjection…

occurrence is slowly moving into public consciousness along with the effects of settler colonialism. Depopulating foreign land through strategic movements, settler colonialists have been and continue to be clever as far as their tactics to establish political systems. Purposed to disadvantage the colonized and to benefit the colonizers, these systems have been founded upon the misery of Aboriginal peoples. Correspondingly, colonialism intricacies combined with eugenic principles continue to be…

Colonialism is the control from claiming a person's country and its individuals toward an alternate region. Colonialism will be those act about mastery about securing full or incomplete political control of in turn country, involving it for settlers, What's more exploiting it monetarily.As a perspective, imperialism is a genuinely worldwide geopolitical, financial, and social precept that is established in the overall extension of West European private enterprise that made due until well after…

Locals were displaced from prime land as settlers moved in to farm and establish homestead, which created significant animosity between the French and the newly formed permanent Arab underclass. Muslims were denied citizenship and were marginalized, opening the country up for violent revolution in the 1950’s. The settler colony system created infrastructure, but the infrastructure was intended for the white settlers and created systematic inequality between the natives and the…

another race, another nationality. Colonialism has been long fought against and the wars that occurred in the light of freedom paved the way to the world today: interconnected, independent. Just like our mother country, Africa has been one of the notoriously colonized continents from the 17th century up until the early 19th century. Reading John Comaroff’s account on the non-conformist missionaries in North Africa in the early 19th century opened three models of colonialism that occurred in the…

vast and expanding field of Indigenous visual art and culture there continues to be a difficult debate about what is considered ‘authentic’ Indigenous art. Traditional pre-contact art motifs, materials and styles as are viewed, particularly from a settler audience, as truly authentic Indigenous art. This stance is increasingly damaging to Canadian Aboriginal communities and artists. For this attitude that only art made before or within the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are genuine shuts…

Purposefully, colonialism requires a person, or a group, to acquire full or partial political control over another country. Additionally, colonialism requires occupying the settlers of a community. Instead of one specific person ruling, one country ruling would benefit the community more because every person apart of the population will obtain motivation to conquer. Eventually, not possessing the right of religion will evidently rise up as a problem for the people who obtain passion for their…

instance post-confederation Canada (1867) and modern day Canada (1980’s-2016). I will utilize Foucault’s theory of disciplinary power to analyse tactics of colonial oppression over Aboriginal sovereignty. My comparison will identify factors such as colonialism, The Indian Act and residential school assimilation policies…

is how to create a sense of place (Sundberg, September 26, 2016; Introduction to placemaking). While some Goans took up Kenyan Citizenship, like my grandfather’s family, it was only for legal purposes, “in the cultural and social sense the Indian settler did not adopt the indigenous African culture and society” (Shankardass, 2001; 18). This did not help close the harsh gap between the middle-class Indian merchants and bankers, and the local Kenyans, who were primarily lower class and resented…

century, some powerful European countries expanded their countries to new territories, known as "colonialism." Both colonialism and contemporary globalization can lead to inter-state relations. In this article, I will compare Colonialism and contemporary globalization. Colonialism is defined as a policy or practice of "full or partial political control over another country, its occupation of settlers and its economic exploitation". Globalization means the integration of economy, finance, trade…
