Imperialismo sotto forma di neocolonialismo = dominio indiretto politico, ideologico, culturale dei paesi del Terzo Mondo, globalizzazione dei modi di produzione capitalista. LA continuazione dell’imperialismo chiarisce perché si parla di postcolonialismo e non di post-imperialismo. POSTCOLONIALE = Concetto venutasi a creare dopo l’indipendenza degli ex paesi coloniali. Termine non inteso tanto nel senso di sequenza cronologica ( dopo il colonialismo) ma come superamento di esso, quindi accezione sia temporale che ideologica; mette anche in evidenza la volontà di rivolta contro i vecchi e nuovi colonialismi Un paese postcoloniale può a sua volta porsi come potenza coloniale nei confronti delle proprie minoranze etniche ( es.in Australia contro gli aborigeni, in Canada agli indiani d’America). **** The Empire Windrush -1948 British Nationality Act, 1948 http://www.uniset.ca/naty/BNA1948.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nationality_law Moving Here: http://www.movinghere.org.uk Cité National de l'histoire de l'immigration - Paris < click to see maps **** Six Pistols **** Race Relations Act - 1971 -- >> -- Nottingh Hill nel 1976-7-8 British Nationality Act - 1981 -- >> -- Brixton, Moss Side, Toxteth Immigration Act - 1988 Presentazione How to be a True-Born Englishman .doc   **** Foucault considered that human subjects are produced and not simply born. Discourse: ‘a group of statements which structure the way a thing is thought, and the way we act on the basis of that thinking. In other words, discourse is a particular knowledge about the world which shapes how the world is understood and how things are done in it’ - The Archeology of Knowledge Ellis Island – portraits d'Augustus Sherman: http://www.histoire-immigration.fr/index.php?lg=fr&nav=596&flash=0 "Il met en scène chaque cliché, photos de groupes, de familles, d’enfants et, dans ses portraits, les immigrants apparaissent souvent vêtus de costumes traditionnels. Ses photographies ont été réalisées alors qu’un vif débat sur l’immigration agitait toute la sphère politique nord-américaine. L’œuvre de Sherman participe autant du désir de saisir l’événement et de le peindre, que d’une volonté politique de classer et répertorier les migrants par races…" ... La question des différences raciales est le sujet principal de nombre d’ouvrages, comme celui du statisticien et économiste Francis A. Walker (1840-1897), du Massachusetts Institute of Technology, qui publie dans l’Atlantic Monthly un article intitulé «Restriction of Immigration» dans lequel il promet un "suicide racial" si les Anglo-Saxons continuent d’accepter l’entrée des Slaves, des Latins et des Juifs. **** Harlem Renaissance W.E.B.
