Colonialism in 10 Minutes: The Scramble For Africa

An excerpt from the film Uganda Rising showing in a (very!) brief overview the utter decimation of Africa that took place via colonialism and the so-called "Scramble For Africa."Despite the film's focus on Uganda, I think this excerpt sheds light on just how much of the violence that we see today actually has a colonial/European precedent rooted in exploitation and racism.It's also an instructive lead in, I think, to Darfur in 10 Minutes: An Overview of the Conflict in Sudan.Uganda Rising was produced by Alison Lawton.It was directed by Jesse James Miller and Pete McCormack (me). Jesse also edited the film, and I wrote it.For more about the film, visit www.ugandarising.com.

nationalism is a fucking disease.were there countries during biblical times!!the world's resources are for those who have the means and dedication to exploit them to produce wealth for other people!!no one has a right to expect to be taken of by the government at all!!

AfrikanerWeerBoetie--Tribal warfare and enslavement was common,BUT their was a difference,european colonization and enslavement was for capitilism,while african enslavement,you could eventually integrate into their soceity.-Europeans did exterminate many african groups such as the hereroe people of mozambique,who were killed,raped,tortured and enslaved by the west germans.-the bushmen were also forced to work on dutch plantations-douche bag! fuck the boers!

Yeah, I know, they were killing and enslaving each other until the "scramble for Africa". But then, you get the racist label for mentioning that colonization put an end to that, at least temporarily... Oh well.

It was just eye-opening to learn from books and articles that European colonization benefited Africa too, not the root of ALL its present woes and misery, especially south of the Sahara.

Strange you talk colonization, and decolonisation, yet you dont live there
AfrikanerWeerBoetie (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Yes listen to this video Dany its made by hollywood, so it must be true, aspecialy the part where Africa was a free peacefull non violent place before the 1800. The African tribes did not have spears like the Zulus and Xhosas and pedis and bantus, they huged and kissed eachother to death, aspecially the bushman in the south. Strange how the small family units of the nomadic SAN people just fannished into thin air?
