After Colonialism offers a fresh look at the history of colonialism and the changes in knowledge, disciplines, and identities produced by the imperial experience. Ranging across disciplines--from history to anthropology to literary studies--and across regions--from India to Palestine to Latin America to Europe--the essays in this volume reexamine colonialism and its aftermath. Leading literary scholars, historians, and anthropologists engage with recent theories and perspectives in their specific studies, showing the centrality of colonialism in the making of the modern world and offering post

Deux questions fondamentales dominent la problématique des conséquences économiques du colonialisme européen. La première tourne autour des effets de ce colonialisme sur ce qui est devenu le Tiers-Monde: s'agit-il là du principal facteur explicatif du sous développement? La seconde question concerne la contribution du colonialisme au dévelop-pement du monde occidental: le colonialisme a-t-il apporté à ce développement une contribution décisive ou négligeable? C'est sur ces deux questions que nous voudrions faire une série de réflexions personnelles basées en partie sur nos recherches en ce domaine.

British colonialism remains a significant event till date in the pages of world history, more so in the histories if its ex-colonies. Colonialism was not just military and political. It was first of all cultural. Manipulation of minds and knowledge was a major and primary strategy in the power of the British Empire that managed to rule over, and exploit more than half of the world. The post-independence scenario has given rise to the school of Post colonialism whose agenda is to talk back/write back to the Empire. Post colonialism aims at questioning, subverting and rereading the colonial discourses and forms of knowledge, Western constructs, stereotypes about the East and breaking down of hierarchies. But this attempt at cultural and cerebral independence has proved to be a really challenging and almost impossible task to be achieved. Post colonialism and its ideas have not remained static towards its approach to and production of knowledge. It has evolved and changed. Old ideas have been challenged and replaced by new ones. However, Postcolonialism in its pursuit of authentic presentations and representations of the endless micro-narratives of 'the other' has at times been caught committing the same appropriations and misinterpretations against which it fights. The effects of colonialism have sipped in so deep into the histories and knowledge of its colonies that a proper decolonisation of the mind has turned hard to achieve. This paper attempts to point out some such lingering effects of colonialism that have remained as gaps in Post colonialism's efforts at decolonising the mind.

As the term diaspora can also be used to think through the intrusion of the colonialism, Michelle de Kretser's The Hamilton Case is divided into three parts due to the characters' attitudes towards the West. Sam's positive reflection on colonialism is revealed in his hope to move to the West and struggle to embrace his dream of western metropolis by complying with the British criteria. Jaya's resistant stance motivates him to initiate the country's political independence and ethnic strife to combat colonialism. Shiva resists colonialism in Sri Lanka, but he caters to the taste of local readers by making use of exoticism after his migration to the West.

Dans l'espace postsoviétique, les débats sur le « colonialisme » sont marqués par l'interprétation du passé soviétique et la dissociation entre des discours politiques souvent victimisateurs et des habitus qui intègrent et même revendiquent des éléments du quotidien soviétique. En Asie centrale, le thème du colonialisme russo-soviétique est contrasté : certains États comme l'Ouzbékistan et le Turkménistan se posent en victimes du colonialisme russe, tandis que le Kazakhstan, le Kirghizstan et le Tadjikistan hésitent entre victimisation et approbation des logiques de modernisation sociale, culturelle et économique qui ont permis d'accéder à l'indépendance. De nombreux impensés politiques liés à l'histoire mouvementée du XXe siècle forment le soubassement idéologique de cette difficulté à prendre parti sur le débat du colonialisme.

AbstractThis study reviews recent sociological scholarship on empire and colonialism. The new 'imperial–colonial studies' in sociology is not a fully fledged subfield but an emerging space of inquiry that examines social forms, processes, and relations associated with imperialism and colonialism. This study sketches the main features of the new scholarship. It also situates the new sociological studies within a larger history of sociological inquiry and interdisciplinary context. Finally, it suggests that the future of sociology's new imperial–colonial studies lies not in 'sociologizing' the study of empire and colonialism but in deploying analyses of empire and colonialism to help critically reorient some of traditional sociology's limiting lenses and assumptions.

Amid and unpredictable change globally, indigenous peoples are frequently referred to as prime examples of resilience. The peoples' proven track record of persevering and ability to adapt have attracted attention worldwide. Previously deemed in need of 'development', the peoples are being called upon to provide what is now an invaluable contribution. Resilience holds out a promise of a (better) future for us all, and for the peoples suggests a greater role in impacting the future. This article dissects the promise of change engendered through the call for indigenous resilience. By drawing on critical discussions on adaptation, indigeneity and contemporary colonialism, it offers an account of the ways in which resilience cements time-tried expectations that indigenous peoples always adapt. Even though the international community would have us believe that colonial practices are a thing of the past, this article argues that the global call for indigenous resilience signals a resurgence of those practices.

Sultanate of Bima has been bound by government of Dutch colonial with Lange Contract agreement (long contract), occurred in 1908-1909 That the Sultanate of Bima is a very strategic area.
