New Imperialism Intro Thoughts
I'm really interested in learning more about the relationships that developed between the colonizers and the colonized, and the cultural effects these had. How did countries react to being colonized? Were there any that were fine with it? Were there any that really fought back? What sort of relationships developed? How the colonized countries feel now about their current/ex colonizers? What were the cultural, economical, social, political effects? Also, how did it change the language? Afrikaans, Creole, what sorts of linguistic mixtures developed and how did they survive? English itself is a product of a colonization of sorts: by both the Vikings and the French. And, how did colonization effect European view points/culture?
