Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics – Region: Africa, , language: English, abstract: This paper offers a critique of Bruce Gilley’s ‘The Case for Colonialism’. The aim of the case for colonialism was to rehabilitate Colonialism, give it compassionate and humanitarian meanings and hence make it respectable again. This paper, however, argues that Bruce Gilley has not made any viable case for Colonialism.
The research’s aim and method are flawed because the research method did not enable the Paper to achieve its aim because, firstly, the Policy measures suggested in the Paper were ill-thought and they posed more problems for Colonialism than they have solved. And, secondly, the examples cited were themselves flawed and misinterpreted. More importantly, the Paper did not adduce any new evidence to enable it to produce new knowledge, move the boundaries of current Colonial Scholarship and hence rehabilitate Colonialism.
