"In terms of defining decolonization or its inverse colonization" did you just say? Based on your email address you seem to have an invested interest in portraying yourself as some sort of "SIL linguist". If you are an actual person, let me just tell you that the word "decolonization" I had never heard, I have no idea about what it could possibly mean and since colonization hasn't stopped to begin with at least you should have written your sentence as "In terms of defining colonization AND its inverse decolonization", right? Even an AI bot of the ones being used to keep the Internet would notice the difference. > ... must colonization only apply to the 19th century? Do you mean "must colonization only apply to the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 21th centuries"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_colonialism Let's not get into what you call "modern colonization" lbrtchx On 4/2/23, Hugh Paterson III <[email protected]> wrote: > In terms of defining decolonization or its inverse colonization, I have > often wondered if we are seeing modern colonization, e.g. of a military > style Russia in Syria or Ukraine, and/or US in Iraq, of an economic style > China in Vanuatu, and some African contexts. etc. that is, must > colonization only apply to the 19th century?
