(Note: While I only list the sources here from my Annotated Bibliography, I do intend to try and find a few more sources for use here.)
Paragraph 1: Introduction
Colonialism has been present in nearly all of the societies of the world in some form since it’s conception and spread across the world. It even has it’s roots in Cinema with films such as Avatar, and District 9. Both of these films show different forms of Colonialism and how it can affect the plot or even be a main point in the plot of a film. In James Cameron’s Avatar we see the classic postcolonial plot of the White Savior: A white person, normally a male, comes to the aid of a “lesser” race out of the goodness of his heart and not only helps them but becomes the leader of them. In the other case Neill Blomkamp's District 9 we see different types of colonialism but in particular is one known as Settler Colonialism: A type of colonialism where a foreign group moves into the space previously inhabited by its natural inhabitants, who are normally forced out in favor of these foreign settlers. I will be expanding on these in detail using information from both the films themselves and the various sources I have found.
