The Boomerang Effect in Our Modern Times For this reason, I sacrifice you to the evening breeze. Aime Cesaire I agree with Aime Cesaire's statement in the Discourse on Colonialism that the process of colonialism inflicts a “boomerang effect” on the colonizer. It is important to establish that colonialism is defined as “a practice of domination, involving the subjugation of one people by another…” by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Aimé Cesaire prefers to define colonization as what it is not:…neither an evangelization, nor a philanthropic enterprise, nor a desire to expand the frontiers of ignorance, disease and tyranny, nor a project undertaken for the greater glory of God, nor an attempt to extend the rule of law.(32) Césaire's words take into account the European voices that excuse the horrors of colonialism behind the lie of bringing civilization to the savages. But the colonizers did not know that they were planting the seeds of hatred, the roots of fantastic tales of superior races and skin colors. Inevitably, the colonizers found themselves oppressed by the same savagery they had tolerated during the colony. Historically, the colonization process has been almost the same for any region since the discovery of the so-called New World in 1492. The king sends an ambassador to the new territory. The ambassador negotiates with local powers and other foreign powers the boundaries of the new colony and establishes a central office as the new administrative power. This new office was responsible for the security of taxes, the management of the army and justice. After a few years, the foreign power absorbs the local powers thanks to its technological and military advances. The process of reaching the domain is characterized by... middle of the paper... with the "creativity" of the "ocuppies", and the city said that overall there were no incidents to report, more than 200 people pass the night in prison only to think differently. The brutality that the United States accuses the Taliban of promoting is now promoted by this country. The boomerang is coming back. Bibliography A poetics of anti-colonialism. Robin DG, Kelley.
