Your edits on Colonialism

[edit]

Hello. I have reverted your edits since they're a major, and non-neutral, undiscussed rewrite of the lead of the article. So propose your changes on the talk page of the article, and get support from other editors there, before making the edits again. Thank you. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 18:59, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have just seen this and had already re-submitted changes. I added a bit about the theory of modernization. To claim that colonialism resulted in modernization without pointing at all to the Eurocentricity and refutation of the concept is misleading and, I believe, inaccurate. If we keep modernize in there whilst acknowledging the contentiousness of the concept, I’d say that’s keeping things neutral. It’s a bold statement to claim colonizers modernized natives’ religions. This implies that Christianity is somehow more sophisticated than indigenous spirituality, which is a weak assertion. Tracychabala (talk) 05:34, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you choose to change these back, I will post my suggestions in the talk page and we can go from there! Tracychabala (talk) 05:35, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
