This book examines 'eternal colonialism,' which describes policies designed by the Western world and United States to keep most of the world in a permanently subordinate political, economic, social, and military state. The authors argue that colonialism beginning in the fifteenth century never ended, but developed different forms over time

An analysis of the position of social science in the Southwest, as compared with the US as a whole, shows that in this region it is less well developed. This fact is reflected in disproportionate representation in offices of national professional societies, membership on boards of research organization, in limited research grants received, and other indices of isolation. For example, the 7 states of the Southwest do not h.:ve any representatives on the board of directors of the Soc. Sci. Res. Council. This regional discrimination reflects not only geographic isolation but various social factors. Social scientists in the Southwest are the 'poor relations' of the national academic family. The solution is not a 'declaration of independence' but attempts to utilize resources of the region more Way, to interest local persons of wealth in the sponsorship of research and other academic activities, development of the existing regional society, and expansion of the Southw. Soc. Sc. Quart. as a publication medium. If no one else shows much interest, self-help is necessary. E. Scott.

This week we ask: what are the wider impacts and legacies of colonialism, and how can we go about resisting them?

For a time it was almost a cliche to say that anthropology was a handmaiden of colonialism - by which was usually meant 'Western' colonialism. And this insinuation was assumed to somehow weaken the theoretical claims of anthropology and its fieldwork achievements.What this collection demonstrates is that colonialism was not only a Western phenomenon, but 'Eastern' as well. And that Japanese or Chinese anthropologists were also engaged in studying subject peoples.But wherever they were and whoever they were anthropologists always had a complex and problematic relationship with the colonial stat

Abstract
Between 1931 and 1936 the democratic Spanish government overthrew the monarchy and established the Second Spanish Republic. It was a volatile period for Spanish-Moroccan relations. Fascists were in favor of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco, whereas Republicans were typically against it. Aurora Bertrana (1892–1974) was a Republican Catalan writer who moved to Morocco in 1935 to write about Muslim women living under the Spanish Protectorate. A close examination of her novel El Marroc sensual i fanàtic (1935) reveals an anticolonialism based on her preoccupation with Spanish nationalist dignity rather than with Moroccan independence. Instead of concluding that Spain's colonization of Morocco is not good, Bertrana concludes that it is not good enough. Her writing perpetuates centuries-old Spanish Orientalist stereotypes, thus complicating the glorified history of Spanish Republican anticolonialism and feminism in the 1930s.
