Colonial and Postcolonial Context · English Literature

In the context of Settler Colonialism, how does the colonial logic differ from 'Franchise Colonialism'?

  1. Settler colonialism seeks primarily to extract natural resources and eventually withdraw from the land
  2. Settler colonialism aims to permanently replace indigenous populations with a settler society
  3. Settler colonialism deliberately avoids deploying any organized police or military force
  4. Settler colonialism prioritizes the legal recognition and preservation of indigenous customary laws
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Settler colonialism aims to permanently replace indigenous populations with a settler society

Unlike franchise colonialism (like the British in India), where the goal is resource extraction and trade, settler colonialism (like in Australia or Canada) is based on the 'logic of elimination' where the colonizer stays permanently and displaces the native population.
