Surprised that no one has commented. Just shows how colonialism is becoming an increasingly difficult topic for our generation to talk about.
Don't get me wrong, I think that there is SO much to be learned from interrogating that era of our past.
What I'm sick of (and probably why young people feel such a disconnect from colonial history) is the way our forebears talked about colonialism. Read Achebe's "Novelist as Teacher" and you might see what I'm referring to.
