According to Taiaiake Alfred and Jeff Corntassel's Reflection article "Being Indigenous: Resurgences against Contemporary Colonialism," how is postmodern colonialism different from earlier colonialism?

Explanation:

Alfred and Corntassel write about contemporary colonial practices and it's various forms through time.

The idea of the colonial system, in general, is gaining control over a group of people and their land, but in the contemporary frame and postmodern colonial system, it has been much more subtilized.

Earlier forms of colonialism are remembered in history by aggressive militaristic attacks, forcible missionaries and educations, removal of children, land confiscation and various other forms of compulsive, sometimes violent, forms of domination.

Recent years have shown rise of the subtle, but persistent Imperialistic practices of postmodern colonialism.

This means that Indigenous peoples have been removed from state's frameworks, while being under the pressure of the general political, legal and cultural norms that do not suit them, and which do not apply for them, their life, tradition, and learnings. With this, the right of self-determination is hurt, as well as their citizenship standards.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
