Rationale:
|
Chapter 2 analyzes the “culture of conquest” involving “violence, expropriation, destruction, and dehumanization” in the Americas as originally developing in Europe prior to European colonization of the Americas. The chapter identifies one of the origins as the Crusades from the 11th through 13th centuries that involved conquering North Africa and the Middle East regions, particularly to control Muslim trade routes. The chapter calls this approach a “profitbased religion” that was later brought to the Americas by colonizers who sought wealth for themselves while displaying “a Christian zeal that justified colonialism.”
