evolution of coloniality
Click on the below cards to go to the sections.
Throughout the six centuries of the European colonial project, stolen lands, cultures and wealth has been used to innovate, research and develop new technologies, narratives and governance systems. This has been done to advance coloniality, incentivised by colonial profit structures.
Coloniality has been evolving through the vast resources it has at its disposal to continue to power over decoloniality, and ensure its supremacy as a world order.
We can see coloniality evolving when we study the histories of areas such as technological advancement, mass communication, and management strategy.
The same harmful profit structures are centred and served.
POSSIBLE FUTURES identifies a few key avenues through which coloniality has evolved:
Fears, trauma and self-hate of the colonised
Development narrative as justification
Extractive profiteering and impunity of the colonisers
These dynamics by themselves continue to inflict colonial harms today.
No adequate reparations have been made for colonial harms inflicted across the Global South.
Colonial justice has not been served.
