Hi!

I'm writing an essay and I'm going to be talking about the themes of colonization in Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. One of the ideas is about how the book portrays Wales as a "wild and untamed" land, which then makes it okay for the British to go in and take control, in order to promote colonization.

I want modern books (or at least more modern) that also fall into this same idea, preferably about Native Americans & colonization of Africa. Books that might be part of the "empty Africa" trope would be good, too.

To be clear, I do NOT think colonization is a good thing! My plan is to show how colonization uses the same propaganda strategies throughout the years.

Thanks and let me know if you need more information!
