Description
“Colonisation may have begun in the fifteenth century and formally ended by the late twentieth, but did it ever truly disappear—or did it simply evolve? Once defined by territorial conquest, colonisation today operates through influence, perception, and the shaping of minds.
In the aftermath of two World Wars, a weakened Europe ceded global leadership to the United States. As a former colony and a modern republic, the U.S. could not adopt the old imperial model. Instead, it pioneered a far more subtle and expansive strategy: a multi-layered, multi-institutional form of mental and cultural domination that reshaped the world order.
Across twenty incisive chapters, this book traces how this new system was conceived, implemented, and ultimately succeeded—transforming global power dynamics in less than eighty years. It also confronts a critical question: has the Western world acted as a friend or a foe to the rest of humanity?
Provocative, sweeping, and urgently relevant, this book offers essential insight into the forces that continue to shape our world today.”
