ANTB19H3 Study Guide - Final Guide: Nuer People, Manifest Destiny, Ethnic Nationalism
Document Summary
Thesis: colonialism disrupts notions of time and space. As the 19th century ended, administrative and bureaucratic interventions disrupted the lives of people across the world. People were being reconstituted as subjects while nation states were emerging and empires were breaking up. Colonialism came to play a role in disruption of the notions of time and space. These disruptions were seen in various forms through different ideologies and time across the world. First was through racist ideologies, which led to terror and discrimination. This was prominent during the birth of the ideology of manifest destiny. Second was through the ethno-nationalist exclusions orchestrated by emerging states and empires. A perfect example of this was the policy by the anglo-egyptian government of sudan to divide and rule" the sudan"s ethnic and tribal groups, including the nuer tribe. Lastly, colonialism disrupted time and space through the modern warfare and ideology of ethnic cleansing.
