Colonialism is a political and economic system set up to benefit the colonizers, not the indigenous people. Wast wealth and labor are extracted from the colonized lands and peoples but very little is returned. The net result is that the people and land is impoverished, and non democratic regimes set up are inherently corrupt and cannot rule the land for the benefit of the people.
Colonialism also destroys the indigenous culture; it is systematically destroyed or degraded in favor of the colonizing culture, which is not necessarily suited for the conquered people.
A society based on exploitation and opposed to democracy is destructive to any peoples.

∙ 11y agoI am currently writing a paper on the effect of british colonialism on tribal relations in Kenya. It seems as though many of the ethnic conflicts seen in Kenya today come from the way the British ruled Kenya. Their divide and rule strategy created sustained ethnic conflict that afflicts Kenyan politics today.

What is post colonialism and how does derek walcotts poertry respond to it?
Postcolonialism, found in literature, film, etc., is a response to colonialism and its effects. Derek Walcott experienced colonialism in St. Lucia, where he grew up. His poetry expresses his attitude towards it because on the one hand he saw the negative effects of it and on the other hand he reaped the benefits of it. In this way many of his poems show this conflict between feeling sorrow for the fate of the island and showing understanding of the benefits of colonialism.
