Colonialism

Literature-specific definitions

Nothing Will Be Different by Tara McGowan-Ross

Colonialism is the process by which one country comes to control another, often by establishing settlements and exercising economic control. In Nothing Will Be Different, the history of colonialism looms in subtle and overt ways. It is present not only in the author’s family history and the history of the nation, but also in the author’s discussion of environmental capitalism, extractive economies such as logging and mining, and the politics of financial aid, which she receives. In other words, colonialism is presented as both a historical and ongoing condition.
