explain modernity in context of imperialism?
Answers
Imperialism mainly refers to force of power. It relies on two forces. Looking at the scientific and technological activity, this force cannot be enforced by adopting it and seizing an opportunity to reach the level of modern science and organization.
Modernity in regard to imperialism, was introduced in the colonized world and infact it had to be constructed against the "Modern World". For instance, The Third World modernizers, i.e. , South-East Asian Marxism, Latin American left-wing democracy, Secular Arab nationalism and many more had to fight against that inventor of modernity
There are many modernizing ideologies, such as the Third-World Marxism. They all had to use means of a dialectical inversion in order to achieve their aims. Perform a double negation, (a negation of themselves as dominated from the outside world) and (a negation of themselves as dominated by their own past.)
Thanks for asking.
