Description: | This study examines cultural and economic practices of Eurowestern colonial settlement in modernity with a focus on conquest and settlement that has supported European economies through the extraction of goods, services, people and land in non-western societies. Sources will include both colonial theory and narratives of the lives of colonized peoples. It is intended that the readings reveal issues such as (1) the intersection of colonial institutions and industrial profit, (2) modern colonialism as a form of social control, (3) policies that are detrimental to the Indigenous, colonized presence, (4) the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized, (5) the 'hybrid' presence, (6) anti-colonial initiatives and (7) the on-going legacy of the colonial/colonized experience. |
