Colonialism and slavery - a political history perspective. The institutional power and the supporting infrastructure of the colonial settler. Native space becoming the absolute colonizing space. The reserve system as a spatial strategy of dispossession and population management (cole: 174) as maps became a special strategy, maps became very important as well as how to manage the population. Reservations becomes a means of marraging the various indigenous populations. Indirectly, immigrants become complicit in the subordination of the indigenous community.

Bolivia has done an excellent job in revitalizing land and pushing for indigenous protection. Phanon then says it is near impossible to reclaim. Race: refers to the idea that there exists distinct biological types of humans, but race as a category i not real.
