Editing Neocolonial segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Neocolonial segregation refers to the continued practice of segregation or discrimination between different racial or ethnic groups within a post-colonial society. It is often associated with the perpetuation of power dynamics and inequalities that were originally established during the colonial era, continuing to marginalize certain groups while benefiting others.

Neocolonial segregation can manifest in various forms, such as separate neighborhoods or housing for different racial or ethnic groups, discriminatory access to resources and opportunities, or inequalities in education and healthcare. It is a continuation of the structural racism and discrimination that were prevalent during the colonial period, with power and privilege still being predominantly held by the descendants of the colonizers or the dominant ethnic group.

Neocolonial segregation can have significant social, economic, and political implications, perpetuating intergenerational poverty, limiting social mobility, and reinforcing inequalities. Addressing neocolonial segregation requires dismantling systemic barriers, promoting equal access to resources and opportunities, and challenging discriminatory norms and attitudes.
