QUESTION
Week 1 Reading notes
For this assignment, your task is to submit informal reading notes that highlight elements of the text that were compelling, confusing, thought provoking, etc. The notes are not synopses or plot summaries. The format and length are entirely up to you; and by extension, what you focus on is also entirely up to you. At minimum, each week’s notes must include two questions related to the text that emerged for you during your reading experience. The main point of this assignment is two-fold: to demonstrate that you are completing the reading assignment and that you are engaging with the course materials in ways that extend beyond merely completing an assignment.

Answer
Week 1 Reading Notes
Loomba, A. (2005). Colonialism/postcolonialism. Routledge. ISBN:0-415-35063-8.
- Colonialism can be seen as a form of Europe’s creation of the Third World via their actions of looking for material wealth and labour using the Negroes, Indians, and Arabs.
- Orientalism can be used to describe how the West has constructed literature surrounding the pervasive and dominant nature of the colonialists.
- Colonial discourse studies in contemporary societies are focused on both delineating the workings of power by the colonizers as well as the various resistances and revolts that the colonized staged.
- Colonialism is responsible for reshaping different structures of human knowledge such as the concepts of land ownership and people’s culture.
- It is due to colonization that there was increased contact between the Europeans and the non-Europeans resulting in different image creations from each of the parties.
- Traditionally, the intersection between colonialism and literature was dealt with majorly by literary criticism.
- Literature has an instrumental role to play in shaping the colonial and anti-colonial discourses between the colonizers and the colonized.
- Differences in cultural and racial differences between the colonizers and the colonized led to various ideological binaries.
- Racism is a mediating factor for the global expansion of capitalism through colonialism.
- Colonialism is responsible for reshaping aspects such as physical territories of states, social terrains, culture, and human identities.
- Despite efforts to make the world post-colonial, terror incidences such as the 9/11 attack make it hard for superpowers to stay without invading other countries.
- Superpowers overdetermine the current global discourse and seek to impose their views on others while incorporating minority views.
- Do anticolonial thoughts and movements affect contemporary global politics and literature?
- Where do we draw the line between the actions of activists with anticolonial thoughts and scholarship demonstrated through literary criticism?
