Contrary to popular belief, the European colonization of the Americas was made possible not by the Europeans having superior technology, but by the inadvertent introduction of pathogens from the Eastern Hemisphere that had not previously been present in the Americas.

This accounts for the fact that when the Europeans were colonizing the Americas in the 1500s and 1600s, they were not also colonizing Africa and Asia (with a few exceptions). It was not possible for the Europeans to colonize most parts of Africa and Asia at the time, because the people there already had the same technologies and the same diseases that the Europeans had.

Of course, Europeans did end up colonizing Africa and Asia, but not until the 1800s. This was suddenly possible then, when it hadn't been earlier, because the Industrial Revolution happened to begin in Europe then. Within just a few generations, industrial technology also spread to the rest of the world, but by then the Europeans and people of European descent had managed to establish their preeminence in world affairs.

The economic, military, and technological superiority of the countries of Europe and of people of European descent traces back only as far as the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. Before that, Europeans had no advantages over the countries of Asia and Africa.

In Collective West media, the violence taking place in Haiti is being reported as the symptom of a failed state. This is wrong. Haiti hs been the "laboratory of neo-colonialism" since at least 1915, and this is continuing today. At the moment, the Haitians are again revolting and striving to shake off the yoke of European and American oppressors. Listen to the explanations of Professor D. Jemima Pierre who gives the full (hi)story of Haiti's current struggle.

Dr. Jemima Pierre is a professor at the Social Justice Institute at the University of British Colombia in Vancouver. She is the author of „The Predicament of Blackness: Postcolonial Ghana and the Politics of Race“ Her next book that she is working on currently will be called „Natives, Ethnics, and True Negroes: A Counter-History of Anthropology.“
