Peeling away at the layers of colonisation – public lecture by Sylvia Tamale

"Coloniality is manifested at two fundamental but interlinked levels. The first involved the expropriation of indigenous worlds by imperial colonisers. Such expropriation included the corralling of indigenous peoples and their ecological spaces for the benefit of imperialism. It ended with formal independence, but the extraction and exploitation of indigenous worlds continues today through neoliberal capitalism and globalisation. Second-level coloniality involves the colonisation of the mind, patterns of knowledge and social structures of indigenous peoples" - Sylvia Tamale
