Topics include the European conquest of Africa and Asia, the varying modes of colonial control, the creation of colonial economies dependent on the West, the population explosion, the development of superiority feelings in the West and dependency feelings in Africa and Asia, the political revolt of the colonized in the 1950s and the economic revolt of the 1970s.
