Sinopse

Colonial Exploitation examines how the pursuit of colonies irrevocably shaped the modern world, focusing on the lasting legacies of exploitation that continue to influence global dynamics. It argues that understanding the intricacies of colonial exploitation is crucial for grasping today's geopolitical tensions, economic inequalities, and cultural clashes.

 
The book highlights how colonies were systematically used as sources of raw materials and captive markets, leading to significant underdevelopment of local industries. It also explores how colonizers imposed foreign languages and educational systems while suppressing indigenous traditions, fundamentally altering colonized societies.

 
The book begins by establishing a theoretical foundation, defining colonialism, imperialism, and neo-colonialism. It then progresses through three sections, analyzing the economic dimensions of exploitation, cultural impacts, and political strategies used to maintain control.

 
Unlike traditional accounts, this study balances the narrative by giving substantial attention to the experiences and perspectives of colonized peoples, highlighting their resistance and resilience.

 
Culminating by connecting historical patterns to contemporary issues such as global trade imbalances and political instability, Colonial Exploitation demonstrates how the past continues to shape our present. This approach provides readers with a balanced account that challenges simplistic narratives and encourages a critical re-evaluation of global power dynamics, making it valuable for anyone interested in world history and postcolonial studies.

This Southern Metropolis - Life...

Mike Bunn

This book is based on visitor descriptions of antebellum Mobile, Alabama's physical and social environment. Mobile's foundational era is a period in which the city transformed from a struggling colonial outpost into one of the nation's most significant economic powerhouses, largely owing to the cotton trade and the labor of enslaved people. On the eve of the Civil War, the Mobile ranked as the fourth most populous community in what would soon become the Confederacy, and within the Gulf Coast region, it stood second only to New Orleans in population, wealth, and influence. 
 
 
 
The city's remarkable architecture, beautiful natural setting, and abundance of entertainment options made it one of the South's most distinctive communities. Its cultural diversity added to its uniqueness. In addition to being home to the largest white population of any community in Alabama, the city also claimed the state's largest free Black, foreign-born, and Creole communities. Mobile was the slave-trading center of the state until the 1850s and remained intertwined with the institution of slavery throughout the antebellum period. By 1860 Mobile's population stood at nearly thirty thousand people, making it the twenty-seventh-largest city in the US. Although numerous histories of Mobile have been published, none have focused on firsthand accounts published by antebellum-era visitors.

These were inherited by the Anglo-Saxons, who arrived from the German-speaking lands just across the English Chanel. The Anglo-Saxons created a rich history and culture but would be supplanted by the Normans in 1066.
The Tudor dynasty emerged in 1485, fundamentally changing life in Britain. The most notorious Tudor of all, King Henry VIII, broke free from Roman Catholicism and instituted the Church of England with himself at its head.
