| THE NEW MASKS OF COLONIALISM | |
| Western
colonialism did not die after the end of World War II when the West
gave up its colonies. It merely changed to a more subtle form, which
may prove more harmful to non-Western cultures in the long run.
The expansion of Western culture has continued at an accelerated rate along with the denigration and decline of non-Western civilizations and their religion, art, literature and customs. This new colonialism has taken on several new faces or, rather, new masks. It masquerades itself through democracy, internationalism, free trade and humanitarianism. In the name of modernization and globalization it pretends to be uplifting peoples whom it is really exploiting and whose culture it is eliminating. This is not different than colonialism originally, which vaunted itself as the bringer of civilization and culture to the uncivilized world. |
