Colonialism

Colonialism Memmi idea of colonialism is that colonialism is based on the perception of the psychological situation of the two groups in society - colonized and colonizers. Memmi argues that the collapse of colonialism was inevitable and that the only way to come through this collapse of the revolt. Memmi describes the influence of climate over the last colonial psychological makeup of colonizers and colonized, and their reactions to colonialism. All descriptions of his theories and lead to the conclusion that colonialism was doomed for destruction. I agree with that Memmi colonialism is doomed to failure. According to Memmi, the colonial system is fundamentally unstable and lead their own destruction, by the simple rigidity of the system. The obvious example is our history that every empire was destroyed from the inside or outside. Soviet Union or the Roman or the British and French colonies collapsed due to their inteal structure. To prove his point, Memmi describes a psychological basis for certain behaviors of both groups, colonizers and colonized. The settlers adopted the behaviors associated with their role - brutality, oppression, exploitation, and bigotry. After reaching the colony, their actions are determined by social norms and institutions that already exist there. As the driving force for economic colonialists developed a long distance between themselves and the colonized. Memmi describes a mythical portrait of the colonized, as seen through the eyes of the colonizer. Colonizers attribute many negative traits such as laziness, corruption and lack of civilization to the colonization. Central to this debate is the issue of racism, Memmi describes as "an expression of depth, the accuser the benefit of a real or imagined trait of the accused. 'It is the colonizer, the supreme ambition of transforming the colonization in an existing object only by the needs of the colonizer. All social institutions and relations between the two groups are made up of settlers built a mythical portrait of the colonized. Memmi also argues that there is a negative correlation between the brutality used by settlers and humanism, and other positive attributes in the colonized. But colonialism is not only brutally colonized, but also to inculcate in their inferiority complex presentation and preventing them from acting to reverse the colonial past. Memmi shows why I can only end through the colonial revolt. Dismiss any hope of putting an end to colonialism through the initiative of settlers, Memmi points left, the Europeans have refused to accept the status quo and, therefore, disagree with it, coming up to support the search for freedom of colonized. While in order to eliminate the other settlers, their actions are for the most part it makes sense from the perspective of the colonized, which remain in the group with the other settlers, and they show no intention to promote the doctrines of the Left, once released, the disappointment the left and then abandon their cause. According to Memmi, therefore, the remaining options for the end of colonialism are assimilation or revolt of the colonized. Assimilation can not occur because it is inherent in the overthrow of the colonial status quo and, as such, can never be tolerated by the colonizers. Subsequently, the only tool left to the colonized is to regain their freedom by force. Sociologist Benjamin Bell also discussed the issue of colonialism and its relation to slavery in American society. According to him, the British, Spanish and other European conquests of the Americas created two groups here - colonizers and colonized. The whites created a mythical portrait of the African ant other ethnic groups as inferior. Rebellion of British colonialism, has sought a colonial rebels more egalitarian society. However, as an extension of the culture based on private property and white, the male citizens, Indian tribes, Mexicans, Americans, Africans, Asians and considered unworthy. Who was not white and Protestant, was regarded as inferior. Each ethnic and racial groups come to New York, may have had a different language and history, but has met with the exclusion of all major. In the centuries of Anglo-Protestant America, which gives the power and property rights - the rights of a citizen and voting power. The promise of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is a social contract mean for white men. Inferior races and the women were not considered by many elite white Protestant men are able to make rational decisions and act independently. According to Bell this duality is deeply rooted in American society. Slavery was the backbone of the psychological belief that whites were superior to all other races. It also explains the effects on the reconstruction - the whites who do not want a superior race. Racism was built on the foundations of society. With the same idea of colonialism is the film Battle of Algiers. Representing the final hours of Cologne system destroyed by the revolt of the colonized, as planned by Albert Memmi of colonizer and colonized. Algerians, able to assimilate to the revolution and violence that the French are very willing to retu. Consequently, the vicious cycle of mutual hatred and the deterioration continues provided by Memmi. Battle of Algiers is the Memmi, the only two options of assimilation and rebellion. As the three women are preparing to bomb civilian targets in Europe, the center of Algiers, who dye their hair, remove their veils, and create as much as possible the illusion of being "white." Memmi argues that "the first ambition of the colonized has become equal to the great [European] and resemble him to the point of disappearing in him. "Even if terrorists were able to create the illusion of being European, which are not assimilated. Against the French in order to avoid integration into French culture - the conscious recall, however, so that the identity theft a crime. However, women can not assimilate into French culture, as only enter the embarrassment of soda and ballroom. They can not interact with customers for fear of being discovered. Despite its acceptance in society, but they realize that they are different, and must carry out their plan of destruction. So the racism that makes this type of emulation required creates racism fueling violence to grow on each side. When the assimilation not Memmi argues that "the day has arrived when the colonized to colonizer must be rejected. "Now that assimilation has failed to rebellion and violence is the means of resistance, struggle Memmi sees as a cycle of hatred and repression, all acts of repression, contributing to the next. This is the incaation of the central theme of the work of Memmi - mutual corruption of colonizer and colonized. The first was the deterioration of colonization, which is converted from Algerian and independent people to a people oppressed. Albert Memmi argues that the cycle of mutual hatred that arises from colonization is inevitable, and that one can not continue indefinitely Cologne - Cologne or ceases to exist due to extermination or assimilation, or the uprising. The film shows the attempts of assimilation of Algerians and their failure, Memmi argues that the results of the colonizer to the reluctance to allow the absorption and thus the end of the colony. The result is discharged violence to violence, corruption and the mutual commitment of both the colonizer and the colonizer. This revolt is evident in the film, but then it is not. The question is not whether to get rid of its colonial ties, but they can overcome the violence that have taken in their struggle and reform of their personal identity, which was usurped by the French. I believe that slavery is very similar to colonialism. They have the same psychological basis. In my opinion, Memmi of concepts and ideas are sufficient to understand the essence of colonialism, and why it is doomed to failure.
