 Colonialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Advocates of colonialism argue that colonial rule benefits the colonized by developing the economic and political infrastructure necessary for modernization and democracy.
Colonialism is the extension of a nation's sovereignty over territory and people outside its own boundaries, often to facilitate economic domination over their resources, labor, and often markets.
Dependency theorists such as Andre Gunder Frank, however, argue that colonialism actually leads to the net transfer of wealth from the colonized to the colonizer, and inhibits successful economic development.

 Africa Economic Analysis - The myth of Neo-colonialism
Blaming all of Africa’s problems on colonialism and the machination of neo-colonialists strikes a cord with many educated Africans angry at the west because of its historical humiliation and exploitation of their continent.
The most subversive act of colonialism was to introduce into the minds of Africans and peoples of other pre-capitalist societies the idea that material progress and prosperity were possible for the masses of people.
Critics of colonialism dismiss such arguments as racists.

 Military Coups In Africa--The African "Neo-Colonialism" That Is Self-Inflicted
The revolt which was mainly spiritual was meant to drive the colonial masters from the African soil; the nationalism to mobilize the masses to the forefront in a fight for self-determination, liberty and human dignity.
There were new dreams and expectations as the colonial masters packed their bags and handed over the instruments of power to the indigenous peoples.
This was the time that the colonial flag would go down for the last time and a new national flag hoisted--hoisted for the first time.

 informal and non-formal education, development and colonialism @ the encyclopedia of informal education
Colonialism commonly involves the settlement of the controlling (often western) population in a territory; and the exploitation of local economic resources for metropolitan use.
Colonialism in its most traditional sense involves the gaining of control over particular geographical areas and is usually associated with the with the exploitation of various areas in the world by European powers from about 1500 on.
Sometimes the term domestic or internal colonialism is used to describe such exploitative relationships between the ‘centre’ (the metropolis) and the ‘periphery’ (the satellite) of particular societies or nation states.

 Neo-colonialism shackles Africa’s starving millions
But droughts and wars do not automatically result in famine; the severity of the famine has its roots in the plunder of Africa by colonialism and the heavy burden of present day neo-colonialism.
Brutal nineteenth century colonial rule was replaced with neo-colonial means after national liberation struggles swept the continent in the middle of the twentieth century.
In a large part of Africa French colonialism is still in force, even though the countries have nominal independence.

 Decolonialisation: Inter Imperialist Rivalries
Colonialism certainly meant slavery, de jure or de facto, and war, and resource exploitation, but also entailed education and infrastructural development, notably railroads and ports but also telegraphs and undersea cables.
French colonialism for example offered education to substantial numbers of Africans, in exchange for the acceptance of European concepts of civilization, at least among the local elites.
The cost of attempting to maintain colonial rule under the tutelage model of gradual transfer of power to stable democratic elites appears however to have outweighed the benefits accruing either in resource extraction, prestige, or strategic position.

The problem with colonialism as it was were due to the fact that the colonial powers really didn’t have too much interest in building democratic institutions in their colonies.
It is clear that kind of colonialism is morally and political unacceptable, and does nothing for the interests of peace and security.
Colonialism has gotten a bum rap as being exploitive and tyrannical, charges which certainly have merit.

According to Patrick Williams and Laura Chrisman the extent to which the Western colonial powers had not relinquished control became clear: "This continuing Western influence, located in flexible combinations of the economic, the political, the military, and the ideological is called neocolonialism" (3), which is another manifestation of imperialism.
In this sense, the underside of colonial and neo-colonial culture is blood, torture and death.
I will argue that this conclusion is not different from the racist ideology of colonialism that justifies the occupation of other lands, and then defends the so-called human face of Western colonialism.

Above all, neo-colonialism, like colonialism before it, postpones the facing of the social issues which will have to be faced by the fully developed sector of the world before the danger of world war can be eliminated or the problem of world poverty resolved.
Foremost among the neo-colonialists is the United States, which has long exercised its power in Latin America.
However little real power the government of a neo-colonialist State may possess, it must have, from the very fact of its nominal independence, a certain area of manoeuvre.

He offers that, in place of colonialism,” neo-colonialism has risen as the main instrument of imperialism.” The essence of neo-colonialism is that “the State appears to be an international sovereignty, when in actuality its economic and political agenda is being directed from outside (Nkrumah, 2).
This seems to suggest that colonialism or neo-colonialism, apart from imperialism, is perhaps a virtuous and invigorating exercise.
When considering the subjects of colonialism, neo-colonialism and imperialism in the realm of modern international politics, it is difficult to make definitive conclusions.

 South Bulletin 37 - The Tentacles of Neo-Colonialism
He called it "neo-colonialism", a form of colonial rule that required no physical occupation of the land.
The subject people who rose to fight for their freedom were labelled terrorists and were attacked by the vastly superior forces of the imperialists.
That was the time when much value was placed on freedom; freedom that is, from the imperialists, from being the colonies of other nations.

 APOLOGISTS OF NEO-COLONIALISM
An important characteristic of such neo-colonialism is that the imperialists have been forced to change their old style of direct colonial rule in some areas and to adopt a new style of colonial rule and exploitation by relying on the agents they have selected and trained.
The only difference is that the latter served the imperialists' old colonialism, while the modern revisionists serve the imperialists' neo-colonialism.
According to this theory of theirs, the fight against imperialism, old and new colonialism, and their lackeys is, of course, no longer necessary, for colonialism is disappearing and economic development has become the central task of the national liberation movement.

Opechancanough survived and made another attempt to wipe out the English colony in 1644, when he was an old man. The Indians killed another 500 colonists, but by that time this was only 1/16th of the total colony.
The company wanted to show off to the English public the success of the colony in 'pacifying' and 'civilising' the natives, and use her to encourage investment.
She was the daughter of Powhatan, and was about 12 years old in 1607, when a party of Englishmen led by Captain John Smith was exploring along the Chickahominy River northwest of the new Jamestown colony.

Neo-colonialism is an indirect colonialization of Afrika by the use of Afrikan native rulers wether they are military or civilian personnel in the continued exploitation and current dehumanization of Afrikans.
Colonialism still survives in Afrika in so far as neo-colonialism is a form of colonialism.
Afrikans in the diaspora have the challenge to eliminate and eradicate the traces of neo-colonialism in all its ramifications in all parts of Afrika.

At first its colonial rule was carried out under the cynical name of the Congo Free State, which was administered as a private fiefdom by Leopold II, king of the Belgians.
He was one of the last of the “Big Men” installed by imperialism to safeguard its interests after the end of direct colonial rule at the beginning of the 1960s.
During the Cold War, the U.S. and European imperialists saw Zaire (which borders on ten countries) as the pivot for their control of Africa, and for a quarter century political life was frozen under the dead hand of Mobutu.

 Freedom lovers urged to demonstrate against neo-colonialism
He said since CPP was committed to national identity and freedom, its focus should be an intensification of the struggle against neo-colonialism in the country.
Kumasi, April 28, GNA - Mr Kwame Appiah Boateng, the 2004 CPP parliamentary candidate for the Nhyiaeso, has called on all freedom loving Ghanaians, especially followers of the CPP, to organise peaceful demonstrations against neo-colonialism, imperialism and what he calls "hi-tech colonialism" that threatens Ghana's freedom, peace, independent and sovereignty.
He said the peaceful demonstrations, which should be termed "Yaa Asantewaa Demonstrations" in honour of the great Asante warrior, should aim at uprooting impositions by the world economic powers that are the root causes of Ghana's economic and political woes.

It can be said that this was the behavior modeled to them during the colonial and neo-colonial periods.
Their protests against interference by the federal government that would threaten their interests are couched in the rhetoric of the colonial oppressed.
Their actions arise from mentality that has embraced the values, attitudes and regrettably the practices of the worst of their former colonial masters.

 "Thoughts from all over: tyranny, colonialism and neo-colonialism" from the sassy lawyer's journal
It is a country that was founded on violence against its native inhabitants; this led, over three centuries of expansion, to the near extermination of Indians, with the few survivors relocated to inhospitable reservations.
The United States is only the most successful of the colonial creations, a fact that has left its indelible mark on American thinking.
As Western states gradually conceded rights to their own populations, they intensified the murder and enslavement of Americans and Africans, founding white colonies on lands stolen from them.

 JI: Isharat from Tarjumaan: Advent of Neo-Colonialism: What To Do Now?
Though the American colonialism and Western civilization have rather made the whole world as their target, but movements and institutions working for Islamic revival have been identified as the first targets.
Mechanisms for a new global colonialism are being woven on these bases in the name of ‘civilization, freedom, human rights, and democracy’.
America has become the biggest flag-bearer of this mentality and the overseer on global colonial domination, and the ‘war against terrorism’ is part of this colonialist agenda.

France was more willing to spend more for the élites in her former colonies, because France thought to gain a lot.
The majority of the population, especially the rural one, was more exploited by than benefiting from the rule of the urban élite supported by France.

 Afghanistan's loya jirga: a cynical exercise in neo-colonialism
In the 19th century, the European colonial powers that carved up the world between them devised all manner of ruses to disguise their despotic control over countries, resources and peoples.
In the name of “peace” and “democracy,” a meeting of some 1,501 delegates will gather together in a pageant presided over by the former Afghan king Zahir Shah to decide on a transitional government and to establish the mechanisms for a new constitution.
The British in particular became masters at bribing or bullying local rulers, playing on ethnic and religious divisions and exploiting indigenous customs and rituals to achieve their own ends.

 Spring 2004 Conference Abstract
By controlling states from the economical and political spectrum of the former colonies from a distance, the neo-colonial powers were no longer held accountable for their actions.
He describes the methods of practice by colonial powers to maintain their rule and domination over the continent's resources and wealth through sub-serving and controlling it's economic and political infrastructure.
It prevented the emergence of not only an economic power amongst the previously occupied states, but it also prevented the establishment of an effective military power, balancing the powers of the colonizing countries, effectively ruling out world wars and limiting any future struggle to small scale battles rather than full-fledged wars.

 “Imperial Terror, Neo-Colonialism and the Filipino Diaspora”
This is usually explained by the theory that the U.S. did not follow the old path of European colonialism, and its war against Spain was pursued to liberate the natives from Spanish tyranny.
But inner wealth, like inner beauty, is precisely the symptom of the profound alienation and disenchantment afflicting the benighted recipients of Western modernity—multitudes of colonial subalterns blessed by commodity-exchange (their bodies, among others), by the free-wheeling market and sacred private property.
If so, that war now rescued from the dustbin of history signaled the advent of a globalizing U.S. interventionism whose latest manifestation, in a different historical register, is Bush’s "National Security Strategy" of "exercising self-defense [of the Homeland] by acting preemptively," assuming that might is right, imposing "regime change" for the sake of corporate profit-making.

 JVP’s war on NGOs and fears of neo colonialism
The JVP-Patriotic National Movement campaign against Non Governmental Organizations is based on the premise that NGOs are one of the chief instruments by which the US and its strategic allies undermine the sovereign political will of countries which they want to subject to neo colonial domination.
As I pointed out in these columns earlier, the JVP is opposed to the Eelam movement because it is convinced that the US is covertly stoking Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict to gain a foothold here.
The JVP propaganda secretary recently urged his party members, supporters and all Sinhala patriots to spit on NGO activists.

 The Achilles Heel of Media Power: Loss of Credibility by Sara Flounders excerpted from the book War, Lies & Videotape

The media creates a global consumer with an increasing desire to buy what the transnational capitalists (TNCs) produce, thereby maximizing their profits.
