Entrepreneurship in the Age of Empire : Colonialism, Collaboration and Exploitation
Exploring the interplay of politics and commerce in one of the most dynamic periods of British history, this book traces the fortunes of the India and Eastern Trading Company Limited, established in 1906 to finance a jute plantation in Assam, north-east India.In a watershed period for commercial culture, as family capitalism and industrial economics gave way to a predominance of speculative investment and the marketing of ideas, analysis of this London-registered company and its international management forms a lens through which to view the broader socio-political and economic environment of the late-Victorian period to the interwar.Mapping the eclectic bonds that created a network of association between a multinational cast of merchants, company promoters, mining engineers, politicians and industrialists, reveals the multiplicity of strands which coalesced to create one share company.By examining their responses to the opportunities created by colonialism: to enabling legislations and set-backs, to competition and collaboration, internationalism versus rising nationalism, an important era in British history is examined from an entirely fresh perspective.The history of the India and Eastern Trading Company Limited is a tale of cloaked agendas, of land speculation under the guise of colonial agriculture, of German and Russian interests embedded in British-empire prospects, which exposes the intrigues of some of the most infamous imperialists of the era; figures who were the subject of intense academic scrutiny throughout the twentieth century and remain at the forefront of impassioned debate in the twenty first.

Settler Colonialism
Settler Colonialism examines the genesis in the USA of the first full-fledged settler state in the world, which went beyond its predecessors in 1492 Iberia and British-colonized Ireland with an economy based on land sales and enslaved African labor, an implementation of the fiscal-military state.Both the liberal and the rightwing versions of the national narrative misrepresent the process of European colonization of North America.Both narratives serve the critical function of preserving the "official story" of a mostly benign and benevolent USA as an anticolonial movement that overthrew British colonialism.The pre-US independence settlers were colonial settlers just as they were in Africa and India or like the Spanish in Central and South America.The nation of immigrants myth erases the fact that the United States was founded as a settler state from its inception and spent the next hundred years at war against the Native Nations in conquering the continent.Buried beneath the tons of propaganda-from the landing of the English "pilgrims" (Protestant Christian evangelicals) to James Fenimore Cooper's phenomenally popular The Last of the Mohicans claiming settlers' "natural rights" not only to the Indigenous peoples' territories but also to the territories claimed by other European powers-is the fact that the founding of the United States created a division of the Anglo empire, with the US becoming a parallel empire to Great Britain, ultimately overcoming it.From day one, as was specified in the Northwest Ordinance, which preceded the US Constitution, the new "republic for empire," as Thomas Jefferson called the new United States, envisioned the future shape of what is now the forty-eight states of the continental US.The founders drew up rough maps, specifying the first territory to conquer as the "Northwest Territory." That territory was the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region, which was already populated with Indigenous villages and farming communities thousands of years old.Even before independence, mostly Scots Irish settlers had seized Indigenous farmlands and hunting grounds in the Appalachians and are revered historically as first settlers and rebels, who in the mid-twentieth century began claiming indigeneity.Self-indigenizing by various groups of settlers is a recurrent theme in story of settler colonialism, white supremacy, and the history of erasure and exclusion about which I have written elsewhere.

What is colonialism?
Colonialism is a system in which a powerful country takes control of another territory, exploiting its resources, economy, and people for the benefit of the colonizing nation. This often involves imposing the colonizer's culture, language, and laws on the colonized population, leading to the suppression of local customs and traditions. Colonialism has had long-lasting negative impacts on the colonized societies, including economic exploitation, social inequality, and cultural erasure.
-
Why is British colonialism viewed more positively than German colonialism?
British colonialism is often viewed more positively than German colonialism because of the perception that British colonial rule was more focused on establishing institutions and infrastructure that benefited the colonies in the long term. Additionally, the British Empire is often credited with spreading the English language, legal systems, and democratic principles to its colonies. On the other hand, German colonialism is often associated with more brutal and exploitative practices, such as forced labor and harsh treatment of indigenous populations in Africa and Asia. This has led to a more negative perception of German colonialism compared to British colonialism.
-
Why is British colonialism considered more positive than German colonialism?
British colonialism is often considered more positive than German colonialism for several reasons. Firstly, the British Empire is often seen as having a more gradual and less brutal approach to colonization compared to the German Empire, which was known for its harsh treatment of indigenous populations in Africa. Additionally, the British Empire is often credited with leaving a more lasting legacy of infrastructure, education, and governance in its former colonies, whereas the German Empire's colonial rule is often associated with exploitation and oppression. Finally, the British Empire's eventual transition to granting independence to its colonies is seen as a more positive outcome compared to the German Empire's abrupt loss of its colonies after World War I.

Colonialism and Neocolonialism
Nearly forty years after its first publication in French, this collection of Sartre’s writings on colonialism remains a supremely powerful, and relevant, polemical work.Over a series of thirteen essays Sartre brings the full force of his remarkable intellect relentlessly to bear on his own country’s conduct in Algeria, and by extension, the West’s conduct in the Third World in general.Whether one agrees with his every conclusion or not, Colonialism and Neo-Colonialism shows a philosopher passionately engaged in using philosophy as a force for change in the world.An important influence on postcolonial thought ever since, this book takes on added resonance in the light of the West’s most recent bout of interference in the non-Western world.

A Dying Colonialism
Frantz Fanon's seminal work on anticolonialism and the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution. Psychiatrist, humanist, revolutionary, Frantz Fanon was one of the great political analysts of our time, the author of such seminal works of modern revolutionary theory as The Wretched of the Earth and Black Skin, White Masks.He has had a profound impact on civil rights, anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the world. A Dying Colonialism is Fanon's incisive and illuminating account of how, during the Algerian Revolution, the people of Algeria changed centuries-old cultural patterns and embraced certain ancient cultural practices long derided by their colonialist oppressors as "primitive," in order to destroy those oppressors.Fanon uses the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution as a point of departure for an explication of the inevitable dynamics of colonial oppression.This is a strong, lucid, and militant book; to read it is to understand why Fanon says that for the colonized, "having a gun is the only chance you still have of giving a meaning to your death."

What is colonialism and imperialism?
Colonialism is a system in which a country seeks to extend its authority over other territories, often through the establishment of settlements and the exploitation of resources. Imperialism, on the other hand, refers to the policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Both colonialism and imperialism involve the domination and control of one group or nation over another, often resulting in the exploitation and oppression of the colonized or conquered people. These systems have historically been used by powerful nations to expand their territories and increase their wealth and influence.

What is the history of colonialism?
Colonialism is a system where one country seeks to extend its authority over another territory, often for economic exploitation and political control. It has a long history dating back to the 15th century when European powers began exploring and colonizing other parts of the world. This period of colonial expansion reached its peak in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with European powers establishing colonies in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania. The impacts of colonialism were profound, leading to the exploitation and subjugation of indigenous populations, the imposition of new political and social systems, and the extraction of resources for the benefit of the colonizing powers.
