ABSTRACT
This chapter provides some dramatised responses to contemporary cultural domination under the intersecting categories of internal, regional, and global neoimperialism. Post-colonialism as a theory and practice designed to include the various neoimperialisms in its address must therefore become genuinely multidiscursive in order to deal with increasingly complex hierarchies of power. If various neo-imperialisms have redrawn socio-political boundaries and/or reinscribed certain privileges, they have also spawned renewed resistance to hegemonic systems. European imperialism is at the root of other historical 'anachronisms' including the evolution of Canada as a nation comprised of mainly Anglophone and Francophone cultures, and development of Australia and New Zealand as predominantly western countries. Economic and military superiority are undoubtedly important in this respect, but it is largely the persuasive power of the media which effects and/or legitimates contemporary forms of global neoimperialism. American neo-imperialism has been so widespread that it has spawned a body of post-colonial drama which itself could be the focus of an independent study.
