“Neocolonialism" is something I would probably have classified as a buzzword, albeit a useful one, before this class, and I will readily admit that I usually skimmed over it in passing before this because I wasn’t sure why it was different from regular old colonialism. But it kept coming up in the reading in various different contexts, so I decided to figure it out. I was going to find a more "professional" source of information than Wikipedia, but I actually felt like I got a lot of valuable information from this article about why neocolonialism is so much more subtle and nuanced than what we traditionally think of as colonialism, but still has the capacity to be as poisonous and as dangerous.
