International Students call out U.S. Imperialism at UMass panel<\/p>\n
8 Students, each representing a different nation, debated at UMass in a panel titled \u201cImperialism in the Modern World,\u201d sponsored by the International Relations Organizations of the consortium colleges. Three students of color were present on the panel, including Argentinian student Sylvia Argota from Mount Holyoke, Egyptian student Hoda Hashim from Smith, and Kenyan Smithie Florence Mwangi. British Moho student Louise Smith suggested that perhaps it was the colonized who were exploiting their colonizers, while UMass\u2019 Edmonde Quinton justified French occupation of Algeria by saying that withdrawal would mean \u201cabandoning some one million French settlers to the mercies of the Arabs.\u201d US representative Amie Hertz declared that democracy was \u201cincapable of imperialism.\u201d In response, the students of color each called out Western imperialism and denounced colonization. Sylvia Argota argued against the United States\u2019 involvement in Argentinian elections, as well as the Fruit Company\u2019s control over Guatemala. Hashim remarked on the ways British imperialism barred Egypt\u2019s goals of unity and social progress, and Mwangi condemned Britain\u2019s practices, including the stripping of people\u2019s land rights, lack of education, and the imprisonment of political activists.<\/i><\/p>\n
