How a system of religious beliefs made the taking of the New World possible and laudable is the focus of Kadir's timely review of the founding doctrines of empire. The language of prophecy and divine predestination fills the pronouncements of those who ventured across the Atlantic. The effects of such language and their implications for current theoretical debates about colonialism and decolonization are legion. Kadir suggests that in this supposedly postcolonial era, richer nations and the privileged still manipulate the rhetoric of conquest to justify and serve their own worldly ends. For colonized peoples who live today at the "ends of the earth," the age of exploitation may be no different from the age of exploration.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 544gAuthor: Djelal KadirGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: HistoryRelease Year: 1992 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
