	Colonization of Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although trans-Saharan trade led to a small number of West African cities developing Arab quarters, these were not intended as colonies, and while Morroco attempted to conquer areas of the Sahel in the Moroccan war, it was soon forced to withdraw its troops after pillaging the area.
		The 1885 Congress of Berlin, initiated by Bismarck to establish international guidelines for the acquisition of African territory, formalized this "New Imperialism".

		The British introduction of this parasitic model of human and environmental interactions was to create a colonial legacy of dependency, degradation, and impoverishment that was to prove disastrous for the East African geography throughout the colonial period and the modern era.
		The main reason that Britain began to occupy colonies throughout the "South" at the turn of the century was because it was experiencing these crisis situations that Marx (1996) speaks of.
		From the beginning, the capitalist agenda of the British directed colonial exploitation and extraction of resources for the sole benefit of the white settlers in Kenya and Tanzania and primarily for use in England to make possible the machinations of technological and economic progress during the industrial revolution.

	JWSR v6n1-St-Hilaire-Global Incorporation and Cultural Survival
		Under the terms of the treaties, colonial authorities were to cease all military action against the Maroons and, for their part, the Maroons were to stop their attacks on the plantations and to refuse to harbor any new runaway slaves.
		In an attempt to neutralize the threat of the Maroons and stem the flow of fleeing slaves, colonial authorities enlisted 500 volunteers to patrol the plantations and to subjugate the raiding Maroons (Stedman 1796).
		Despite the efforts of colonial authorities, the Maroon raids on and the flight of slaves from the plantations continued.

		Dismayed by the desertion of the colony "upon such slender grounds," Captain Blackman, bound for Surat as the new company factor, fumed that it was the planters' own folly that destroyed the colony, not "the Peoples treachery." He marched all over the island, accompanied by a large band of fully armed men.
		Colonial and commercial settlements were often shaped by the decisions of governors and settlers who responded spontaneously to unforeseen developments.
		Records for this effort are contained in a single folio volume in the British Library: the volume includes a record of consultations held concerning the colony and copies of letters sent by the colony's governor and other officers.

	'A Measure of the Nation': Politics, colonial enthusiasm and education in Germany, 1896-1933
		Historians of German colonialism have concentrated on the question of whether or not colonialism and imperialism were instrumentalized by a political elite, and in so doing they have failed to address the cultural and politico-cultural aspects of colonial enthusiasm.
		Through an analysis of the political language of colonialism and the efforts of colonial enthusiasts to spread their message through education, I investigate concerns common to contemporary Germans about the class cleavages and political divisiveness wrought by the advent of industrial society and mass politics.
		This study pays particular attention to the efforts of colonial interest groups to spread their message through popular means and most forcefully through the German educational system.

	German Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bismarck's efforts also initiated the levelling of the enormous differences between the German states, which had been independent in their evolution for centuries, especially with legislation.
		In 1881, a first commission was established to produce a common Civil Code for all of the Empire, an enormous effort that would produce the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB), possibly one of the most impressive legal works of the world; it was eventually put into effect on 1 January 1900.
		German colonial efforts from 1884 brought a relative small overseas empire compared to those of Britain and France, although in the Herero Wars it shared with those empires the phenomenon of armed conflict between natives and colonials.

		Rastas believe that their original African languages were stolen from them when they were taken into captivity as part of the slave trade, and that English is an imposed colonial language.
		The Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy, written during the 1920s by a preacher called Fitz Balintine Pettersburg, is a surrealistic stream-of-consciousness polemic against the white colonial power structure, a palimpsest of Afrocentric thought, brimming with rage and energy.

		This knowledge was informed by several sources, including colonial and missionary empirical and philological efforts to document the languages and customs of the various ethnic groups of the Punjab.
		Missionaries were at the center of these developments, and their efforts began with the translation of the Bible into Punjabi in association with the formulation of grammars and dictionaries.
		For example, colonial officials often did not value the literary heritage of Punjabi throughout the nineteenth century, and many believed Punjabi was simply a ‘dialect,’ not a distinct language.

		The colony of Garten occupied only a fraction of Tirane's surface; Nibelungen, attractive as its twilight zone was to settlement, was hostile to human life outside the twilight zone; the German Continent was only one continent, and that located on a relatively distant world.
		When the two colonies found themselves independent, the larger colony–self-sustaining and interested despite itself in a wider astropolitical role–tried to replace Bavaria’s role as much as was possible given the two colonies’ independence, early on extending recognition to Heidelsheimat as a sovereign Bavarian world.
		The colony was fortunate enough to enjoy a mild trade surplus, with valuable Gerollblock metals and ores more than compensating the sponsors for their investments and covering imports of capital goods, luxuries, and high technology.

	Colonial Activity in the Americas
		The English colonial efforts in the small islands of the West Indies were more important than the whole of their mainland colonies for many years.
		The colonies were largely the refuge of religious dessenters, though this dessent did not pursuade them to leave the umbrella of England's protection.
		The colonial model was retroactively fitted with a word called 'mercantilism.' The term was coined by a Scottish philosopher in the later 1700's; it described the model of what the European countries had been trying to do to the world for several centuries.

	Session 119 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This panel is aimed at rethinking the scholarship on colonialism by looking at the British Empire as a transnational enterprise in which the project of the larger empire continually and consistently contended with issues defined by the local and regional complex of cultures, ethnicities, and gender.
		One trajectory will involve tracking colonial efforts at social engineering, specifically attempts to order Indian society in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by transporting Indian criminals and political prisoners to various locales in Southeast Asia where they were integrated into the complexities of the local multicultural and multiethnic society.
		This paper is an exploration of colonial attempts to use photography for the identification of convicts transported to penal settlements in Singapore and the Andaman Islands during the second half of the nineteenth century.

		The case is strongly made for both the hegemonic practices of colonial and capitalist interests and the efforts made by native Zimbabwean actors to participate in and resist these practices.
		Cultural values of "cleanliness" and body presentation predated colonialism and capitalism, (23-31) colonial efforts at "civilizing" native populations was ambiguous at best, (99-104) and capitalist efforts, especially after World War II, to a great extent expanded already established cultural values and social institutions.
		Yet despite efforts to avoid Marx’s notion of "false consciousness," (6-7) Burke is still confronted with informants who "fail" to see the larger implications of their values and practices.

		In this session too the interest is in tracing the colonial state's efforts to intrude into and reshape indigenous society on the one hand and, on the other hand, to show the acts and practices of accommodation and resistance that these efforts generated.
		At home and abroad, in discourse and in practice, colonial rule constructed and colonized boundaries, disciplinary lines of separation and control that were transgressed in a multiplicity of ways by a variety of individuals and groups.

		The efforts of colonial governments to reconcile dual systems of law for the orderly governance of colonial societies has been the subject of much scholarly analysis.
		It is further argued that the passive stance of the colonial courts with regard to customary law reform may actually have served to perpetuate the enforcement of unfavourable customary law on women in more ways than one.
		In Southern Africa, the attempts of colonial governments at law reform to confer the common law concept of age of majority on both men and women met with little success as this was neither accepted by men in traditional communities, nor was it utilized by women, most of whom were unaware of their new status.

		Many of the contributors deal directly with the mobility of indigenous polities or communities during 1915 to 1946 and simultaneous colonial efforts at containment.
		As the introductory chapter notes: "At the beginning of the period covered by this book (1915-1946) the colonial state was ill-formed and weak; by the end of it, the state had consolidated itself to a considerable degree.
		The papers published here suggest that, in this transition from colonial weakness to consolidation, the geographic space of the country was demarcated, dominated and defined, and the contract labour system which linked north and south had begun to entrench itself." (p.

	Tundukubwa Introduction
		The Azanian colony of Tundukubwa is the smallest of all the major settlements on Tirane, only Tunghu is smaller, and is today home to some sixty-eight million people.
		Azania's colony was placed on the continent of Arcadie alongside French and Bavarian efforts, however where the Europeans attempted to build copies of their homelands on Tirane, the Azanians took a more practical approach.
		The colony is centralised in a way not matched by any other Tiranean nations and the people are less sentimental about exploiting the natural resources of their land.

		Nonetheless, the burgeoning efforts of these countries give us our first inkling of who the players will be in the grand interplanetary effort to colonize the solar system over the next few centuries.
		Their goal, unstated but indisputable, is similar to the colonial powers of the 19th century: to obtain future domination over unclaimed territories in space.
		Just as the colonial movement dominated much of 19th century politics and history, the growing desire by nations today to settle and control the solar system is also likely to dominate human history for centuries to come.

		At the turn of the century, America needed to convince its critics that its colonial schemes were justified.
		Not all Americans were keen on those colonial efforts, and many groups called on the US President not to add still another problem to their country’s burgeoning crises of urban decay, industrial over—production and racial conflicts.
		The answer came in fairs and expositions intended to legitimize these colonial efforts by showing tribes as savages incapable of self—governance.
