The Memmi and Fanon readings introduce us to the phenemonology of how colonialism affects the psyche of both colonizer and colonized. Allen and Hedges & Sacco explore the creation of internal colonies in the US, dating from early (and continuing) efforts to colonize Native Americans and African Americans, to internal colonies created currently as colonialism has morphed into transitional capitalism, neoliberalism, or neocolonialism.
In Hedges & Sacco’s chapter on Camden, “days of seige,” we are confronted with what they call a “zone of sacrifice,” a city and its inhabitants and ecosystem that have been experiencing a “slow moving Katrina.” It is also a city affected by those who are wounded who reach out to others who are wounded.
