When Patagonia was Colonized: People mobility at high latitudes during Pleistocene/Holocene transition
Quaternary International, 2003Co-Authors: Laura Lucía Miotti, Mónica SalemmeAbstract:Abstract The Pleistocene–Holocene transition was a critical time for the dispersal of human societies all over South America. People looking for places to settle had to accept high environmental variability during the colonizing process. The case studied for this paper is Patagonia (Southern South America), where the oldest dates (ca. 13–10.5 ka BP) have been obtained for the peopling in the Deseado River Basin and Magellan Basin, as well. However, two archaeological sites yielded similar dates on the western side of the Andes (Monte Verde and Tagua Tagua). Following archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data (palynological, faunal, sedimentological and glaciological information), as well as radiocarbon datings, a hypothesis about the colonization of Patagonia is presented. Analysing the ways and time of colonization for this region, it is remarkable the coincidence of these ages in the centre of the steppe and close to the Magellan Strait, even in the present Tierra del Fuego island, though the eastern Andean foothills seems to be occupied at least two millennia later. It is proposed that independent peopling entries would have occurred both through the Atlantic and Pacific facades, and that the Andean foothills were Colonized much later, only when the available spaces allowed it.

Quest for Place through the Reconstruction of History, Cultural and Ethnic Belonging in Sally Morgan ‘s MY PLACE : A Postcolonial Study
International Journal of Research, 2018Co-Authors: Subhankar GhoshAbstract:The spelling of the term ‘post colonialism’ has become polemical for their arise a lot of controversies among critics regarding the spelling of this particular term. If this term is spelt with the hyphen, it denotes a particular historical period, like those suggested by phrases like ‘after colonialism’, ‘after independence’, or ‘after the end of Empire’. This term will be spelt as post colonialism’ to denote the various cultural effects of colonization from the beginning of colonial contact (McLeod 5). It will be suitable to explore the successive ways in which the colonial masters have denied subjectivity of the Colonized People and dislocated/displaced the Colonized People and annihilated historical, cultural and ethnic belonging both literally metaphorically through the imposition of the culture of the colonial masters and linguistic colonization. In the colonial discourse the Colonized People have been denied their subjectivity: ‘’... the Orient was not (and is not) a free subject of thought or action.’’ (Ashcroft, Post-colonial, 25). The Colonized People have been projected objectively. They have not been given language to express themselves.

How Colonial Power, Colonized People, and Nature Shaped Hansen’s Disease Settlements in Suriname
Societies, 2020Co-Authors: Henk Menke, Toine Pieters, Jack MenkeAbstract:According to the Dutch colonizers in Suriname, leprosy (or Hansen’s disease) was highly contagious and transmitted from human-to-human. A “ cordon sanitaire ” was constructed around the patients, mainly African slaves and Asian indentured laborers and their descendants. They were tracked down and incarcerated in remote leprosy settlements located in the rainforest. Some patients obeyed the authorities while others resisted and rebelled. Their narratives, revealing conceptual entanglement of the disease with their culture and the Surinamese natural environment, contain important information for understanding their world and their life inside and outside of leprosy settlements. They combined traditional health practices and medicinal plants from their natural habitat with biomedical treatments (practicing medical pluralism). They believed in a diversity of disease explanations, predominantly the taboo concepts treef, tyina, and totem animals associated with their natural habitat (the Surinamese biome). Some of their imaginary explanations (e.g., “leprosy is carried and/or transmitted through soil and certain animals”) show a surprising analogy with recent findings from leprosy scientists. Our research shows that nature contributes to shaping the world of Hansen’s disease patients. An ecological approach can make a valuable contribution to understanding their world. Comparative historical and anthropological research needs to be conducted to map the influence of different biomes on local explanatory models. The now deserted Hansen’s disease settlements and their natural environments are interesting research sites and important places of cultural heritage.

Capturing postcoloniality in action: RAND, rationality, and subaltern encounters during the “Vietnam War”
Critical perspectives on international business, 2016Co-Authors: Isabella Krysa, Jean Helms Mills, Albert J. MillsAbstract:Purpose Drawing on a series of RAND interviews with Vietnamese prisoners during the Vietnam War, the paper aims to analyze the role of colonizer–Colonized in the production of postcolonial representations (postcoloniality) and the role of the Western corporation in the processes of postcoloniality. Design/methodology/approach Selected RAND interviews are analyzed using a postcolonial lens and explored through the method of critical hermeneutics. Findings The analysis supports the contention that Western othering of Third World People is neither completely successful nor one-sided. It is argued that while the Western corporation is an important site for understanding hybridity and postcoloniality, analysis needs to go beyond focusing on the symbolic and the textual to take account of the material conditions in which interactions between colonizer–Colonized occur. Finally, there is support for further study of the socio-political character of methods of research in the study of international business. Research limitations/implications The case suggests further study of colonizer–Colonized interactions outside of the context of an on-going war, which may have heightened some forms of resistance and voice. Social implications The paper draws attention to the continuing problem of Western othering of formerly Colonized People through military and commercial engagements that are framed by neo-colonial viewpoints embedded in theories of globalization and research methods. Originality/value The paper provides rare glimpses into interactions between colonizing and Colonized People, and also the under-research study of the role of the Western corporation in the production of postcoloniality.
