Assess Cesaire’s claim (in Discourse on Colonialism) that Hitler’s ‘scientific’ racism was the outcome and application to Europe of “colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.”

These tips are in addition to what any good essay requires irrespective of topic, including: it should be well researched; it should address the essay question, and make clear in its opening paragraphs how the question is being construed and how you will proceed to answer/engage with it; it should be well structured, so that paras and sections follow each logically; it should be clearly and well-written; and perhaps above all, the essay should develop an argument, integrating ‘information’ into that argument, and not simply present information.
