survivance amid the radical transformation brought about by settler colonialism. Her book discusses their struggle, fighting to keep their right to sovereignty as a Nation, separate from the US and Canada. Simpson illustrates the lives of the Mohawks in their reservation, and shows that they are more than the ironworkers that have come to be the stereotype for the Mohawk people.

will use the “settler colonial” framework and the concept of “logic of elimination” (Wolfe, 2006). Wolf asserts that “settler colonialism is inherently eliminatory but not invariably genocidal”.

It is grounded on the conflict perspective model and it endorses social activism and consciousness raising. The concept of critical consciousness is particularly essential for personal empowerment

years of 1750 to 1901, the journey of thousands of humans sailed out overseas. With many decisions, they all experienced something different, from those who were forced to leave, had to leave or chose to leave. The voyage of slaves, convicts and free settlers differed immensely, yet, they still had slight similarities. Kidnapped and forced into slavery, that was the early stages of becoming a slave.

west, like Oregon or California, isn 't that difficult. Though the trip takes some time, improved ways of transportation like cars, trains, and planes gets us to any destination in a matter of hours or days. Well back in the early 1800’s, American Settlers had many hardships moving west during the Western Expansion. Without the availability of any modern transportation, their journey was by foot, cattle, or wagon, which would take dreading months of starvation and work. An Oregon pioneer named Martha

British majoritarly pursued indirect colonialism especially in Africa. Indeed, after centuries of settler and direct colonialism, British imperialism soon came to realize the advantage of an indirect type of rule in their newest colonies when considering the economic benefits but also the pre-colonial societies of Africa. Indeed, most of these African states were characterized by complex and highly populated pre-colonial areas and this discouraged many British settlers and more importantly perhaps, discouraged

introducing London Missionary Society’s Superintendent, John Philip, who brought up a controversial campaign about the right of “coloured peoples” and their work in a free market. What is also brought up in this article is John Philip’s view of colonialism: “The different members of a state [are] beautifully represented by the members of the human body: … if one member suffers, all the members suffer,” which we may view as “the peculiar vices of all ranks of the inhabitants are the vices of the system

Building States and Societies in Post-Colonial Africa The period of colonialism shaped most of the African continents into what it today. Through examples from Angola and Rwanda I will compare the two countries to give insight into what the European influence has caused. Angola was occupied by the Portuguese and when colonialism was coming to a close the Portuguese pulled all their influence out of the country, leaving the place in array of confusion. Rwanda was occupied by the Belgians and when

Canada’s long history of colonialism has created a myriad of problems for Aboriginal people. According to Kelm (1998), “colonization is a process that includes geographic incursion, socio-cultural dislocation, the establishment of external political control and economic disposition, the provision of low-level social services and ultimately, the creation of ideological formulations around race and skin color that position the colonizer at a higher evolution level than the colonized” (Kelm 1998:18)

Colonialism first occurred during the Roman, Hellenist, Babylonian and Persian empires, but it is more known during the 15th century as “The Age of Discovery,” led by the Portuguese and Spanish. The colonization of the European in Africa, some parts of Asia and Americas is the most significant factor or could be the basis in comprehending the current state of the countries and people. That is why a deliberate study or reading of the European colonialism is essential to understand how much influence

Furthermore, European colonialism also had a major economic impact on different African societies, as there was an increased presence of trade and trade relationships. Trevor R. Getz in his document, explains how trade negatively impacted many African states, and in one example, explains how trade did not benefit the local population in Algeria. Getz states, “In fact, the deys were already independently increasingly Algerian trade with Europeans, especially in the area of wheat exports. Although

Colonialism is a perpetual and relevant issue in Canada. The definition of Colonialism is, “The policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically” according to the Oxford dictionary (The Oxford Dictionary, 2018). On a small scale, Canada is influenced by Britain as British Commonwealth; the consequences that preceded the colonization are evident in the contrast of the standards of living between the general

the Dual Mandate, Lugard argued that British colonial rule could only be situated ‘indirectly’. Indirect colonialism implies that ‘native chiefs are constituted as an integral part of the machinery of the administration’. However, the ‘chief himself must understand that he has no right to place and power unless he renders his proper service to the state’. In other words, indirect colonialism allows pre-colonial leaders to keep political and legal power over their subject, while demanding them to

which Adele Perry tells in her book Aqueduct: Colonialism, Resources, and the Histories we Remember, models the immoral way that Canada has treated Indigenous peoples. Indigenous resources were wrongfully exploited to meet the needs of settlers. This is a pure example of colonialism and extraction- issues that are still prevalent in today’s society. The type of colonialism we see in the story of the Winnipeg Aqueduct is settler colonialism- when settlers invade on Indigenous territory. (Barker and
