Produktbeschreibung

The book characterizes colonialism as a duress contract entered into by the colonized and enforced by the colonizers. The contributors argue that the colonial "contract" must be voided because of the dehumanization and oppression implied. Only when unmasked and fully comprehended can colonialism be halted.
