Colonialism

different forms of colonialism

imperialism, settler colonialism, neo-colonialism

distinct wrongs of colonialism

denial of self determination by those with the native collective identity and dispossession of the indigenous from their land

Valentini’s argument

there is no distinct wrong in colonialism as a peaceful colonialism, which enfranchises has no distinct wrongs

‘racism, violence, exploitation, murder, forced relocation, violations of relational equality between individuals, are not distinct to colonialism

Ypi’s Argument

distinct wrong of colonialism is the establishment of a form of association that fails to offer equal reciprocal terms of interaction of all its members

Moore’s argument

the wrongs of colonialism make no sense if we don’t appreciate people’s cultural/national identities and their relationship to land

national identities not freedom and decision making is what indigenous peoples are deprived of

common features of colonialism

Economic Exploitation, Cultural imposition, Political Domination, the taking of land
