"The Colonizability of African and Asian Societies from the Perspective of Malek Bennabi (Historical Insights)"

Abstract

     This study aims to attempt to formulate a conceptual understanding of the Islamic thinker Malek Bennabi's perspective on the colonial phenomenon, its dimensions in time and space, its consequences, and its effects on African and Asian countries and societies to this day, especially in the mental and behavioral aspects. It highlights the differences in the impact of colonialism between the African and Asian worlds and ways to overcome it. This is achieved by presenting some solutions and recommendations for addressing these consequences through a critical reading of some of Malek Bennabi's texts on the colonial phenomenon
