The Case for Colonialism

The book presents a provocative defense of colonialism, building on Professor Bruce Gilley's controversial 2017 article that ignited intense debate. Gilley argues that the criticisms of colonialism lack substantial evidence and that the benefits of colonial practices can be observed across various contexts. With a blend of empirical analysis and humor, he challenges contemporary scholars to reconsider and articulate the merits of colonialism, positioning himself against the prevailing anti-colonial sentiment and calling for a renewed discourse on the subject.
