colonial cities  

Définition

  • The human appropriation of resources—whether they be land, raw materials, or labor—is by nature a colonial act and, in this respect, urban settlement may be considered inherently colonial. However, here, the colonial city is defined by two parameters: the city as a nucleus of human settlement dependent on, yet separated from, the agricultural hinterland; and the colonial, which is the domination of a minority population over indigenous peoples (who are usually ethnically, racially, or religiously distinct from their colonizers).
