[quote=Anonymous]I'm an academic, and I use the term in the context of postcolonial theory. "Anti-colonialist" basically means opposed to oppression in all its forms (racism, class-based discrimination, sexism, economic injustice, etc.) To say someone is anti-colonialist would imply that they understand that injustice exists today as the legacy of centuries of colonizing activities. Of course, the exact definitions and the implications of the term are contested, as are all things in the academic realm. I hadn't realized that the term had crossed over into the mainstream. It really doesn't belong there, imo.[/quote]
