Learning Portfolio Task 2
Please listen to Episode 5, Part 1 and Part 2 ‘The Land of our Fathers’ of the New York Times podcast, and answer the following questions.
1) Colonialism created institutions that were racialised: created to maintain white supremacy and the unfair treatment of non-whites. Can you give evidence of this from the podcast?
2) What are the impacts of this racialised system for the people in the podcast? (bonus question, what does this mean for their access to the means of production).
3) Krishna talks about the Rail Way in India and the Opium Wars in China as two examples of British colonialism. Please choose one of these examples and explain in your own words how it is an example of colonialism. Please feel free to do some your own research into these events. Thanks!
