Chapter 18 (p.879-912) & Documents (p.922-929)

Chapter 18

I liked the beginning of this section when the author described his summer in Ethiopia. He described the things that h saw while he was done there and that led to the intro to the chapter. I found it interesting how the first thing he noticed after he was directed to see the beautiful view, was that he saw children selling on the streets like an adult would be seen as doing. During this time it as very common for that due to the colonization from the other countries, which he goes onto explain further. Colonialization had made a huge impact on the way things function in our surroundings. From other countries taking 0over other countries, to making different types of people work. These people that worked were also categorized and called many names.

Documents


The visual sources in these documents displayed images of what was going on at this time. This had to deal with the many places that were taken over. One of the images also showcased the alliances between countries. While some of them displayed the French having lots of powered and who they were up against. Others displayed the significance of overcoming someone else's rule.
