This document discusses post-colonialism, cultural studies, and globalization. It defines post-colonialism as analyzing the cultural legacies of colonialism and imperialism, as well as addressing the oppression of non-European races. Cultural studies in a globalizing age examines how local cultures are influenced by the possibility of a global market and financed by non-local money. Examples are given of Bollywood films being financed by non-resident Indians and their popularity abroad extending Indian culture. The relationship between local cultures and global markets is seen as mostly colonial, where local cultures are exploited to serve first world markets.
