Colonialism and Post-Colonialism on the River to the Heart of Darkness

Before we begin reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, we'll spend some time Wednesday exploring the colonial and post-colonial experience in the Philippines.  I've asked some Filipinos in Santa Maria, Tarlac to help us try to define a "post-colonial mentality" that many Filipinos debate after periods of Spanish, Japanese and American colonial rule.

Please listen to the following 25-minute recording and note quotes and questions you would like to discuss on Wednesday.
