Definition

Colonial segregation refers to the practice of separating people based on their race, ethnicity, or social class in colonial societies. This segregation often resulted in the unequal treatment and opportunities for different groups of people, with discriminatory policies and laws reinforcing the segregation. Examples of colonial segregation include the apartheid system in South Africa and the separate but equal policies in the United States. Such practices had long-lasting impacts on the social, economic, and political dynamics of these societies.
