Abstract
The writer refers to globalization as colonialism with hi-tech tools, or colonialism on steroids. The paper looks at Uber colonialist Cecil Rhodes on colonialism: "We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labor that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies [will] also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories."

Abstract
The paper asserts that the identification of a theme for investigation that cuts across three assigned books is a challenging task, given that the books are not only generically distinct but also deal with issues in different eras of history stretching from the nineteenth century to the present day. This being said, this research project proposal argues that the theme "colonialism/postcolonialism" is particularly relevant to the texts in question, and the issues they raise. As is seen, the exploration of this theme in the three books contributes to the shaping of the provocative research question: "Do the forces underlying colonialism continue in the modern context?" With reference to scholarly literature relating to this theme and question, it is shown how the scholarly literature largely validates and expands upon issues addressed in the three texts. Nonetheless, given the controversial nature of the research question, it is shown how the methodology of the research design would be impacted and how the research can work around these issues through innovative, if challenging, methods.

Abstract
This paper discusses colonialism and anti-colonial nationalism in India and describes some of the features and processes inherent therein.

From the Paper
"Colonialism and anti-colonial nationalism in India were the result of historical processes that pre-existed. Prior to colonialism Indiafound itself in a state of anarchy, lawlessness and arbitrary despotism, which as Chatterjee points out was a central element in the ideological justification of British colonial rule. The British, from their Western perspective, deemed Indian social customs degenerate and barbaric, a view that prompted them to undertake colonialism as a civilizing mission. (Chatterjee) Abhorring the long list of atrocities perpetrated on Indian..."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the overall impact decades of colonialism had on Africa and Latin America. This analysis takes the view that with respect to Africa, the arbitrary partioning by the colonial powers may have been one of the main catalysts causing many of the civil wars throughout the sub-continent. With respect to Latin America, this analysis argues that decades of colonial influence, economic ties to colonial powers as well as unbalance and unfair trade agreements with these powers has led to devastaing results in Latin America, devaluation of currency, accumulated debt and a fractionalized populace.

From the Paper
"Conceptions of Colonialism have been debated by academics and scholars since the inception of the ideology. Colonialism to its advocates represents an integration of "civilized" principles of one nation into another, less educated, less refined area. To its detractors, Colonialism represents all that is wrong with Imperialism and "Nation-Building". There are those who assert that Colonialism has the tendency to bring domination of an indigenous culture, the imposition of one's values and moral systems upon the other."

From the Paper
Post-Colonialism or Neo-Colonialism in the Context of Globalization Globalization is a term that has become very popular in recent years. Some researchers think that it is a wonderful phenomenon that will lead to economic prosperity. Other researches believe that it will result in economic, social, environmental and political degradation. One aspect of globalization that many researchers are interested in is the relationship between globalization and colonialism. In particular they are interested in whether globalization fits into a post-colonial framework or if it is a textbook example of neo-colonialism. This essay will argue that globalization does not fit into a post-colonial

Abstract
This paper examines the topics of law, sexuality, spirituality and colonialism, showing how they are interconnected and affected by globalization. The paper gives particular attention to the place of women in this equation. The paper contends that globalization has resulted in the victimization and incarceration of women, people of color, immigrants, and poor people. Additionally, the paper argues that globalization directly caused the increase in trafficking and migrant workers, calling this contemporary colonialism.

From the Paper
"Globalization has reinforced global inequality and while creating an abundant market for a few, it has resulted in the victimization and incarceration of women, people of color, immigrants, and poor people ((Angel-Ajani, 2005). It is globalization that directly has caused the increase in trafficking and migrant workers, for example (Kempadoo, 2005). Contemporary colonialism is grounded in historical colonization and depends, above all, on intersectionality and interlocking of church and state structures that shape sexuality and spirituality. Religion functions as an ideology; gender is invariably racialized and classed..."

Abstract
The following paper will discuss the root of African under-development: colonialism.

Colonialism: The Root of African Under-Development The following paper will discuss the root of African under-development: colonialism. To start with, the paper will highlight how European colonial elites used corruption and intimidation to secure their power - thereby setting an example and a precedent of "modern" leadership from which African leaders in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have not retreated. As well, one cannot pass over the grim fact that colonialism turned Africa's emerging modern economies into resource-based, extractive economies characterized by poor diversification and by even weaker technological or logistical infrastructure; not surprisingly, the end

Abstract
The various aspects of colonialism are analyzed within this study of 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad. By realizing the colonial propaganda that enveloped Marlow at the beginning of the book in relation to Kurtz, one can realize the true barbarism and horror in Kurtz as a British colonist. The writer discusses that although Marlow is disillusioned by his literary idol earlier in the novel, he invariably succumbs to the overwhelming colonial mentality by accepting this racist perspective of the African people.

Abstract
This essay analyzes themes presented in Graham Green's novel "The Quiet American." The essay discusses the obvious topics of American ignorance and the European colonization and nationalist conflict in Vietnam but goes deeper in analyzing the themes of how colonialism and cultural oppression become "written" on the bodies of women, how love for the exotic "other" is really self-love and how horrific actions are justified as necessary through false rationalization in the European colonial mindset. Further, the essay describes the human tendency to project one's own needs upon the exterior world that is portrayed in the novel. The article argues that in the novel, neither of the main character's ideology is correct because even though the actions of both men may seem less exploitative than measure taken by their fellow Americans, both men look at the nation of Vietnam and see only their own desires.

From the Paper
In The Quiet American, The British narrator, Thomas Fowler, comes from a nation that has colonized many other countries even though the war in Indochina seems specifically like an American anticommunist struggle. Fowler thinks he is 'above' what he sees before him, because he is an objective reporter, just like he is above the religious sensibilities of his wife that prevent him from marrying his Vietnamese lover Phuong. Fowler's favorite phrase about himself is that he is: ''Not involved,'' a phrase that he describes as ''article of my creed. The human condition being what it was, let them fight, let them love, let them murder, I would not be involved, my fellow journalists called themselves correspondents. I preferred the title of reporter. I wrote what I saw. I took no action - even opinion is a kind of an action (Greene 29). This is somewhat disingenuous, of course, given the way that reporting in Vietnam is portrayed throughout the book. For example, in one incident the reporter Fowler meets with the Catholic Lieutenant Peraud, to observe a ceremony in honor of the Virgin of Fatima, which is disrupted by an attack by the rebel forces.
