The Colonies of CultureThe Postcolonial Self in Latin the States and AfricaThe colony is not only a porta in the geographical it is a mental dominance that can imperialize the correct self. Entire continents have be domineered, resources in all dried, and at colonialisms normal worst, the mental devastation of the indigenous cultivation has left a concourse hollow. Indigenous culture is no longer that. In the globalized world, no culture is autonomous culture cannot breathe without new ideas and new perspectives, perspectives that have traditionally come from the people who have lived within the culture. But, the imposition of dominant cultures has for certain benefited from cultures own vulnerability, as global similarities now populate throughout most different, yet not separate cultures. Postcolonialism is imperialism with a sham on, naught less. As Franz Fanon puts it that imperialism which today is fighting against a s full-strength liberation of mankind leaves in its wake here and there tinctures of chemical decomposition reaction which we must search out and mercilessly expel from our land and our spirits.

The poor people of Kenya were terrified as the government responded to the Mau Mau movement, the build up forces didnt know where to attack, so they used terrorist tactics in response, murdering whoever they could find, destroying wide villages, in order to stop the Mau Mau. These culture of violence created a self in fear, a self that has been trained that it is under attack. The self of the indigenous person has been enslaved, labored, tortured and murdered, all due to the violent power colonialism and postcolonialism paste throughout the world.
