Does anyone have any recommendations on books about Colonialism?

I'm not interested in some Marxist fathead blithering gibberish about the inherent cisheteronormativism of imperial capitalism or some foppish cunt reminiscing about the good ol' days of when getting waited on by brown people was normal, I am specifically interested in what the colonial governments actually did. How they went about governing the natives, how they extracted resources, how they managed trade, and so on.

East Asia or India specifically, but honestly I'm interested in anywhere and everywhere.

Pic related, an accurate representation of the Russo-Japanese War.

>wanna read about oppression but dont wanna actually read about oppression.

Colonialism is based on the explotation of black and brown bodies if you are not prepared to deal with its repercusions then fuck off.

i think he's saying he wants an actual historical account of events, not a 500 page long polemic about how colonialism is bad

ugh. but colonialism is oppressive, fuck off with your middle class white boy pseudo-objective detachment. folks are fucking dying out there
>>
>>7354960
so you've already defined objectivity as colonialism = not oppressive...and then claim you want an "objective history"? fuck off
>>
>>7354966
>ugh
I don't think this is bait, this is just how this person writes.

>>7354966
What people like you fail to realize is that every other group of people would have colonized too if white people didn't do it first.

"Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful."

No it think it has more to do with the fact that he doesn't want to be told that oppression = bad.

Ressentiment / slave morality vs hero morality

Of course. I suppose it doesn't take very much imagination to apply Nietzche to leftists, but I still found that excerpt from Kaczynski very insightful.

Everyone everywhere fights and fucks. It's better to dominate the fighting somewhere you don't have to live, fuck a few foreign qts and make your own nation rich enough to live in peace than to wallow in local fighting and fucking.
