EFFECTS OF CONQUEST: A FANTASY AND A REALITY

Authors

Abstract

Ibn-e-Khaldun wrote of the impact of conquest on the psychology of the conquered. This can be made much more vivid by thinking about a possible complete conquest of Iraq by the USA. This fantasy serves to illuminate the current reality of how our perceptions of the world have been shaped by our history of having been colonized. These distorted perceptions form a major obstacle towards progress in desired directions.
