Postcolonial Ideology

Gerald Steinberg über Friedensforschung und postkoloniale Theorie:

“Thus, postcolonial ideology in peace studies programmes promotes an agenda based on Chomsky’s ‘empowerment’ of Said’s legendary ‘other’—the outsider, the refugee and the postcolonial victim. This agenda extends to political advocacy and action, including at times support for terrorism and violence, in the name of this subjective social justice.”
