Throughout history, traditional knowledge organization systems have often inadvertently reinforced oppressive structures, particularly in matters pertaining to race, gender, sexuality, and feminist studies.

The primary objective of COEXISTENCE is to systematically categorize, structure, and disseminate terms, concepts, and theories that empower us as scholars, information professionals, activists, educators, and opinion leaders. By doing so, we aim to contribute to the collective effort towards a fairer and more egalitarian world. This undertaking is essential in fostering a comprehensive understanding and progressive discourse in the academic and societal domains. ]]></dc:description>  <dc:publisher>Maria Aparecida Moura</dc:publisher>  <dc:date>2017-02-01</dc:date>  <dc:language>en-US</dc:language><ThesaurusConcept dc:identifier="http://mamoura.eci.ufmg.br/tematres/vocab/xml.php?skosTema=1702">	<dcterms:created>2019-11-04 12:32:46</dcterms:created><PreferredTerm dc:identifier="http://mamoura.eci.ufmg.br/tematres/vocab/xml.php?skosTema=1702" xml:lang="en-US">	<LexicalValue>colonization</LexicalValue>	<dcterms:created>2019-11-04 12:32:46</dcterms:created></PreferredTerm><ScopeNote xml:lang="en-US">  <LexicalValue><![CDATA[ <p>Colonization can be defined as some form of invasion, dispossession and subjugation of a people. The invasion need not be military; it can begin—or continue—as geographical intrusion in the form of agricultural, urban or industrial encroachments. The result of such incursion is the dispossession of vast amounts of lands from the original inhabitants. This is often legalized after the fact. The long-term result of such massive dispossession is institutionalized inequality. The colonizer/colonized relationship is by nature an unequal one that benefits the colonizer at the expense of the colonized. Ongoing and legacy Colonialism impact power relations in most of the world today. For example, white supremacy as a philosophy was developed largely to justify European colonial exploitation of the Global South (including enslaving African peoples, extracting resources from much of Asia and Latin America, and enshrining cultural norms of whiteness as desirable both in colonizing and colonizer nations).
