      ✍️Ania Loomba's Colonialism and Post colonialism:-

◆Here I give you some basic information about colonialism, imperialism and post- colonialism. Let's see first about COLONIALISM.


 ◆This picture is speak some deep relation with colonialism,  because it's related to Literature, economics, politics, culture etc. According to dictionary ;
  
● This period has been characterised by a resurgence of imperialist were and outright colonialism.

● And one way I think, It means political and economically dominance exercised by the capitalistic status.

° U.S.
° Japan 

◆ Mainly over all Africa, Oceania a large part of Asia and North America, Colonial expansion/ aggrandizement during 1850 to 1914.

◆ Reasons:- 
°  Political, Cultural,  Economical, Ideological, Demographic, Social, Classism and Civilization are more powerful reasons according to my point of views.


◆ IMPERIALISM:-





◆ Imperialism means a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means.

● Historical; Rule by an emperor.

◆ " In Russia, imperialism had developed lalongside a semi feudal agrarian structure.

◆POST - COLONIALISM :-
     




◆ The political or cultural condition of a Farmer Colony. 

● " The transition from colonialism to post Colonial in Africa."

◆A theoretical approach in various disciplines that is concerned with the lasting impact of colonization in Farmer colonies.



 ◆ So, in simply I try to define this things and now some information about Ania Loomba's view of colonialism and post colonialism. So, let's see,



◆Ania Loomba is an Indian literary scholar. She is the author of Colonialism/Postcolonialism and works as a literature professor at the University of Pennsyvania.
◆ Loomba researches and teaches English literature and early modern culture, post colonialismthe history of colonialism and postcolonialism in South Asia, as well as postcolonial literature and culture. 
◆At the center of her interests are the history and literature of racism, colonialism and national building from the 16th century to the present day. 
◆ Many of her works - such as Colonialism / Postcolonialism (1998) and Shakespeare, Race and Colonialism (2002) - engage with Shakespeare and the Renaissance Theater.
