Postcolonialism and Science Fiction Quotes

“Cultural difference, therefore, is predicated not only across space but also across time. The colonial ideology of progress includes the drive for technological process, and figures time as linear, with technologically progressive societies pushing forward and leaving others behind. The dynamic of past and future is therefore complicated and folded over on itself; the colonised are seen almost literally as not only figures from history but as figures from the colonizer's own past, objects of simultaneous reverence and scorn as primitives.”
