Discuss the similarities, differences, and overlap between colonialism, imperialism, and postcolonialism.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should include definitions of colonialism: methods employed by one country to gain control, sometimes through territorial conquest, of another country or geographic area. Colonialism generally involves settlers and formal mechanisms of control over a country's colonies. It involves gaining political control. Imperialisminvolves control but without the creation of colonies, without settlers, and without formal methods of control. It is instead characterized by economic control and exploitation. Postcolonialism refers to a once-colonized area after the colonizing power has departed. Power may be implemented from a distance by the prior colonial power, and may be political or economic in nature, mainly through controlling the locals.
