Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malmuria" data-source="post: 8489467" data-attributes="member: 7030755">We are still living with the effects of European and American imperialism.  Many countries around the world gained their independence within living memory.  The appropriation of land, extraction of resources, and destruction of the environment still profoundly effect peoples across the world in uneven and unequal ways...and all of this violence is still ongoing.  Finally, and particularly important for our purposes here, the forms of representation and narratives produced in those recent times still inform the worldview, implicitly or explicitly, of contemporary people in the global north. So the narratives that come under scrutiny in fantasy are those that pertain to this very recent history.</blockquote>
