Franz Fanon: Impiriúlachas, Coilíneachas, Neo-choilíneachas & Díchoilíniú le BLOSC (Mar 30, 2021)

Fuair Franz Fanon bás seasca bliain ó shin – Marxach, daonnachaí radacach agus príomh-theoiricí agus fealsúnaí an díchoilínithe. An tseachtain a chuaigh thart, d’iarr mo chara, Dr Fearghal Mac Ionnrachtaigh, orm alt dá chuid faoi Fanon i gcomhthéacs na hÉireann a phrófléamh agus lena linn, thuig mé nár scríobh mé rud ar bith as Gaeilge faoi Fanon ar an bhlag seo cé go ndeachaigh a fhealsúnacht agus a dhearcadh i bhfeidhm go mór orm. Chinn mé, mar sin de, aistriúchán beag a dhéanamh as blúire den alt úd mar cad is fiú a bheith ag tabhairt amach faoin impiriúlachas, coilíneachas, nua-choilíneachas agus díchoilíniú mura bhfuil bun-thuigbheáil de na téarmaí sin agat i do theanga dhúchais agus tú sáite agus meáite ar dhíchoilíniú a bhaint amach i do thír féin? ‘Sí an Ghaeilge athghabháil na hÉireann, agus is i athghabháil na hÉireann slánú na Gaeilge!

‘COLONIALISM: HOW THE BRITISH EMPIRE STOLE $45 TRILLION FROM INDIA. AND LIED ABOUT IT’

by Jason Hickel (2018) based on key original research by economist Utsa Patnaik:

“There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonisation of India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence. New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.”
