tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.

1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard

3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."

4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.

adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.

nothing makes you feel like more of a flop than not getting a phishing scam in your inbox even though the problem is apparently so prevalent that tumblr had to put out a site wide warning on everyone's dashboard
