What is Colonialism?

Colonialism is the practice by which a powerful country directly controls the less

powerful countries and uses their resources to increase its

power and wealth.

Is this a positive or negative strategy?

African Colonies💎 The history of external colonization

of Africa can be divided into two stages: Classical Antiquity and European Colonialism.

💎 The Colonialism brought to Africa a lot of innovations in several fields.

💎 Phoenicians founded Utica and Carthage.

💎 Africa became a Roman Province.💎 In the XV century, the Age of

Discovery, European Countries began exploring Sub-Saharan Africa, but only in the early XIX century settlers arrived in the interior territories of the Continent.

Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe was a great novelist and journalist of XV century.

He is considered the father of modern journalism.

He wrote a lot of important novels, the most famous of which was “Robinson

Crusoe”.

Robinson Crusoe

Robinson Crusoe is Defoe’s first novel and it is also considered the first modern realistic novel.

Robinson Crusoe is the celebration of the English mercantile spirit, and, today, it appears to us as the archetypal pioneer. He has been rightly defined as the new “homo oeconomicus”. Robinson Crusoe is also the archetypal colonist ( this is made evident

especially in the final part of the novel, after his meeting with Friday).

Robinson and Friday💎 This text shows two important aspects of Robinson’s

relationship with Friday: -How Robinson sees Friday;-The Christian religion.

💎 Friday is described in details, which are a typical element of the realistic novel.

💎 Robinson’s dislike of non-European people appears especially in the expression “ugly yellow nauseous tawny”, used to indicate the colour of the Brazilian and Virginian Indians.

💎 In the second part of the excerpt, Friday highlights the differences between Christian religion and his own one.

💎 In the last sentence, Robinson reflects on the similarity of most world religions, and in particular on how religious practices are often mysterious in order to increase people’s veneration of priests. This allows the Puritan Robinson to criticize the Catholic Church.

The White Man’s burdenTake up the White Man's burden —Send forth the best ye breed —Go bind your sons to exileTo serve your captives' need;To wait in heavy harness,On fluttered folk and wild —Your new-caught, sullen peoples,Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the White Man's burden —In patience to abide,To veil the threat of terrorAnd check the show of pride;By open speech and simple,An hundred times made plainTo seek another's profit,And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden —The savage wars of peace —Fill full the mouth of FamineAnd bid the sickness cease;And when your goal is nearestThe end for others sought,Watch sloth and heathen FollyBring all your hopes to nought.

Take up the White Man's burden —No tawdry rule of kings,But toil of serf and sweeper —The tale of common things.The ports ye shall not enter,The roads ye shall not tread,Go make them with your living,And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden —And reap his old reward:The blame of those ye better,The hate of those ye guard —The cry of hosts ye humour(Ah, slowly!) toward the light: —"Why brought he us from bondage,Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden —Ye dare not stoop to less —Nor call too loud on FreedomTo cloak your weariness;By all ye cry or whisper,By all ye leave or do,The silent, sullen peoplesShall weigh your gods and you.

Take up the White Man's burden —Have done with childish days —The lightly profferred laurel,The easy, ungrudged praise.

Comes now, to search your manhoodThrough all the thankless yearsCold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,The judgment of your peers!
