The Intersection of Imperialism, Protests, and Religion
Downloads
This qualitative study examines the complex relationships between imperialism, protests, and religion. Through critical discourse analysis of historical and contemporary case studies, this research reveals how imperialism exploits religion to legitimize domination, suppress resistance, and maintain colonial power structures. Protests and social movements employ religious rhetoric and symbolism to challenge imperialist powers, advocate for justice and equality, and mobilize collective action. The study's findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersections between imperialism, protests, and religion, shedding light on struggles for decolonization, liberation, and human rights. This research informs critical perspectives on power dynamics, social change, and the role of religion in shaping social movements, highlighting the need for nuanced understandings of these complex relationships.
