WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -By 1914, a large majority of the world’s nations had been colonized by Europeans at some point. The concept of colonialism is closely linked to that of imperialism, which is the policy or ethos of using power and influence to control another nation or people that underlies colonialism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Colonial representation relies on political images which are constructed by the ideas of power and domination over “others.” This type of representation is “man made”, so colonial representation is a kind of colonial discourse which creates a false Ideology.

Detailed explanation-3: -In short, ‘colonial discourse’ can be defined as a discourse (in Foucault’s sense) that produces knowledge about colonized people in order to legitimate colonial domination. This discourse constitutes a particular kind of symbolic power which serves to legitimate a hegemonic and colonialist point of view.
