		Colonial mentality refers to institutionalised or systemic feelings of inferiority within some societies or peoples who have been subjected to colonialism, relative to the mores or values of the foreign powers which had previously subjugated them.
		Colonial mentality is also at the root of a long established indigenous/European Filipino tradition of ancestral ethnicity forgery used in the attempt to conform to the idealized "mestizo pedigree" dictated by the former colonial rulers Spanish-Filipino socio-racial hierarchy.
		The idea that a part of Quebecers hold a colonial mentality, due to the conquest of Quebec by the British and subsequent domination by English Canada is important in a segment of Quebecois intellectualthought, notably within the Quebec nationalist and independence movements.

	Early Research Award Honarable Mentions
		Scholars have discussed Colonial Mentality (CM) as a significant factor in the experiences of Filipino Americans, yet this construct has not received attention in psychology.
		Thus, CM should be considered as a potential explanation for the alarming mental health statistics among Filipino Americans, such as high rates of clinical depression and suicide ideations/attempts.
		We also hope that the CMS could be useful for mental health research, clinical assessments, and interventions on Filipino Americans, which could in turn facilitate increased societal and psychological understanding of this neglected, understudied, and underserved population.

	Decolonizing African Philosophy and Religion
		Colonialism was not only a political imposition, but also a cultural one.
		Of course, in colonial times such concerns were not the order of the day, to say the least, nor have they, even now in post-colonial times, acquired that status.
		I think that it is a colonial type of mentality that regards African philosophy as something that should be kept apart from the mainstream of philosophical thinking.

		British colonial involvement in Amboseli was consistently characterized by alienation of the Maasai, from grazing rights in the area, from taking part in the organization of conservation and development strategies in the area, and from economic benefits accrued through the preservation of Amboseli as a national park visited by "Northern" tourists.
		The perpetuation of a destructive colonial mentality has been further compounded by the postcolonial acceptance of capitalist philosophies of socioeconomic organization and "development" that concentrate on the eco-tourist profitability of national parks for the nation and not on the sustainability of specific cultural groups such as the Maasai living in the Amboseli region.
		The capitalist mentality is also characterized by the commodification of human and natural resources into "use- and exchange values," according to Marx (1996), and this commodification has justified massive exploitation of people, resources, and the environment, based on an assessment of their profitability and market value.

		Colonial mentality is a cultural notion of inferiority sometimes seen amongst populations previously subjugated and colonised by foreign entities.
		In a racial context, colonial mentality has to do with the desire - or the desire for one’s offspring - to become a part of the foreigners in power, whose culture, practices and beliefs, including those of racial hierarchy, were imposed on the entire population and then maintained and nurtured by the subjugated natives themselves.
		Examples of colonial mentality can be seen in the Philippines, in their biased favouritism for Filipino mestizos (mixed Caucasian/Malay, but also Chinese/Malay) in the entertainment industry and mass media which they have saturated disproportionately despite being the smallest minority in the counrty.

		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.

		Colonialism is here understood as authoritarian rule by a minority of expatriate aliens dependent on the mother country for their power.
		Focusing on the colonial administrations in occupied Poland, I have found that each layer of the bureaucracy drew social types similar to corresponding levels in Europe’s African and Asian colonies during the high imperial era, often for the same kinds of reasons, with many similar reactions.
		Beyond the issue of colonial mentality, I have been drawn to how the German civil administration of the Generalgouvernement (GG) came to “think like a colonial state” in their efforts to reshape the Polish “homeland” into a labor preserve.

		The colonial mentality which sees 'natives' as needing control is easily transferred to 'woman'-but woman as exemplified by the caste of the prostitute.
		Visions of such patriarchal carnivalesque awaken a sense of acute phallic frustration in the psyche of the colonial male, resulting in the immediate usurpation of patriarchal privileges from the native male and relentless rampant ravaging of female bodies in the colonies.
		After the 1857 revolt in India, the colonial stereotype of the 'mild Hindoo' undergoes a massive change to become the 'savage rapist' of British women, thereby denoting that the body of the white woman too could be used as an active colonial tool.

	Colonial Name, Colonial Mentality and Ethnocentrism (PART ONE)
		While the name Philippines cannot by any means be considered as the matrix of the so—called “colonial mentality” that persists among many Filipinos, changing it may provide added impetus to the process of the country’s cultural decolonization.
		In the analysis of T.J.S. George, the Philippines’ obviously colonial name has emphasized the Filipino’s hispanization, which “by definition has meant a degree of de—Asianization, a certain debasement of native nationalism.” Each time a Filipino refers to himself as such, he is unconsciously proclaiming his former allegiance to Philip II and his descendants.
		Unlike in the Spanish colonies in Latin America, where the Spaniards and Spanish mestizos had become a sizeable part of the population and, in some areas, even constituted the majority, their counterparts in the Philippines never amounted to more than one per cent of the population.

		CM is conceptualized as an individual differences variable on which Filipino Americans likely vary in the levels of their endorsement.

	CHAPTER IV
		Filipinos have a colonial mentality which is made up of two dimensions: the first is a lack of patriotism or an active awareness, appreciation, and love of the Philippines; the second is an actual preference for things foreign.
		The Filipino colonial mentality is manifested in the alienation of the elite from their roots and from the masses, as well as in the basic feeling of national inferiority that makes it difficult for Filipinos to relate as equals to Westerners.
		This is related to our colonial mentality and to the use of English as the medium of instruction in schools.

		Colonialism's inability to reproduce and inculcate itself totally and harmoniously over colonized peoples and spaces mean that, apart from its own inherent contradictions and weaknesses, colonial discourse came face to face with an extremely complex and vibrant entity: an indigenous ethos.
		Colonialism is not satisfied with merely holding a people in its grip and emptying the native's brain of all form and movement.
		Chaze attacks colonialism and its patriarchal system as she confronts the invasion of the French military, the installation of nuclear testing sites in the South Pacific, the artificial economy, and all the bureaucratic controlling techniques of the colonizer that oppress and regulate Ma'ohi people.

	THE FILIPINO MIND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The primary task for Filipinos is to raise their nationalistic consciousness, through self- education or by formal/informal education, beginning with a recognition and appreciation of their colonial mentality and exerting a conscious effort to discard it.
		We often hear Filipinos complain that as a nation we are afflicted with a colonial mentality.
		But an even more harmful aspect of colonial mentality and one that is less recognized is our failure to pinpoint our real national interests apart and distinct from those of our foreign colonizers.

		The prospects of the Muslims eventually being granted a state of their own began to diminish, as the governance of the Muslim provinces was passed on to the Christians and not to the Muslims themselves.
		As one of the governing principles of American colonial policy, Filipinization was narrowly defined as the gradual substitution of American with Filipino personnel in the government — part of the preparation of the Filipinos for self—rule and independence.
		To emphasize the complete break with “Philippine colonialism”, the MNLF asserted the nationhood of the Moro people — Bangsamoro (Moro Nation) — and announced their goal to establish a nation—state of their own — the Bangsamoro Republik.

		Colonialism often attempted to stamp out traditional artistic practices which later made a reactionary reemergence in response to the continuing presence or final departure of the colonial government.
		It appears to be the colonial mentality that if it can be erroneously proven that the existing populations were not ‘advanced’ nor had a history in the locality, then the actions of the colonials can be justified.
		In locations where colonialism had existed the longest, such as Southern Africa and other places where the white colonialists found hospitable environments, there is a strong movement of anti-colonialism art.

	Notes
		This was related to (a) a colonial mentality that "backward nations" were not capable of building cities, and (b) lack of serious research on African history.
		Like colonial cities Europeans built in Latin America and Asia, colonial cities in Africa were centers of commerce and administration (which was designed to strengthen the ties between the colonial territory and the mother country), and they were often located on or near the coast (or a major waterway).
		The most striking aspect of African colonial city was a form of apartheid: the partition of urban space into two zones: European or White City and Indigenous or Black City.
