Notre Dame , IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional colonial models, internal colonialism delves into the complexities of social structures and power dynamics within a single geographic region. The dominant group wields authority and exploits resources, often at the expense of marginalized populations. It underscores the systematic subjugation and exploitation of racial and ethnic minorities within a nation&#8217;s borders, characterized by relationships of oppression and exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>This framework brings to light the entangled nature of power relations within a state, emphasizing how these dynamics perpetuate a cycle of domination and subjugation. In essence, internal colonialism reveals colonial-like practices within a nation, exposing the persistent and troubling impacts on marginalized communities. Notably, the former Soviet Union&#8217;s relationship with Kazakhstan serves as an illustrative example of internal colonialism.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In her <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tainted Desert: Environmental Ruin in the American West, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valerie Kuletz <\/span>similarly employs the colonialism framework, defining &#8220;nuclearism&#8221; as a form of &#8220;internal colonialism&#8221; to describe the environmental destruction driven by the agents of the nuclear economy.<sup class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote \" data-mfn=\"2\" data-mfn-post-scope=\"00000000000007fa0000000000000000_250\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"  role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-describedby=\"mfn-content-00000000000007fa0000000000000000_250-2\">2<\/a><\/sup><span id=\"mfn-content-00000000000007fa0000000000000000_250-2\" role=\"tooltip\" class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote__note\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mfn=\"2\">Kuletz, Valerie L.
