Abstract

One of the dominating themes of Colonialism, and its sequel, Neocolonialism has been the “idea of containment” as man critics have already discussed at length. Colonialism saw the widespread of controlling, regulating the exploiting the resources in the established colonies of the white masters in a direct manner, where as neocolonialism generally represents the actions and effects of certain remnant features and agents of the colonial era in a given society. Post-colonial studies have shown that even after independence, the influences of colonialism and its agents are still very much present in the lives of most former colonies.
