Krátky popis
'I thought I had a pretty good sense of how colonialism shapes
modern society, but Dr Davy has shown me that understanding these
things is a lifetime's work. In the absence of time to read
everything, you could not ask for a more eloquent guide than this
book. Essential' - Sathnam SangheraAn eye-opening book about how
societies are designed to support the status of those in power at
the destructive expense of those without it.Read it and take
responsibility.ECOLOGICAL OPPRESSIONIn 1958, China declared war on
sparrows, destroying its own crops and contributing to the deaths
of more than 10 million people.ECONOMIC OPPRESSIONIn the nineteenth
century, the Shuar people of Ecuador were driven by economic
necessity to procure shrunken heads for the Western curio market.
The bloody wars that ensued nearly destroyed their
society.EDUCATIONAL OPPRESSIONThere have been fifty-five prime
ministers of Great Britain, of whom forty-eight have been privately
educated, creating a society built by and for the privileged.These
are just some of the stories in this remarkable book that
illustrate the key factors that allow societies to create and
sustain oppressive systems. Some are historical.Others have played
out right before our eyes over the last decade. All are rooted in
the systems in which we all participate.Together they represent the
layers of systematic, often insidious oppression that make up the
world today.
