Post Colonialism

Post Colialism Theorists:

  1. Alvarado (1987) - 4 racial representations:
        Pitied- Feeling sorry for
        Exotic - Being exotic in their nature
        Humorous- Make us laugh
        Dangerous- Being a threat

    Franz Fanon - 4 representations of black people.
        Primitivize- Tribal warriors/Animalistic
        Infantilize- Like children
        Decivilize- Acting uncivilised
        Essentialize- All categorised as the same

    Edward Said wrote a book on Orientalism. He argued that the west, particularly colonising Europe constructed a meaning of the East that suggested it was different, dangerous and uncivilised.
     
  2. Yasmin shows a negative view of British Muslims. This is shown as graffitti saying 'Paki's go home' was written on the shutter on the street. Also Yasmin is hown to be westernised and wants to hide the fact that she is a muslim by changing her clothes and taking off her religious clothing and driving to meet a man.
