Colonialism Shaped positive in Africa
Ethnicity is another social identity that colonialism in Africa had a significant impact on. African civilizations were often divided arbitrarily for administrative reasons by European colonists who pushed their own conceptions of ethnicity on them. Social identities in Africa have been further shaped by this history of ethnic division, which has resulted in disputes based on ethnic differences and the maintenance of negative preconceptions about particular ethnic groups. For instance, the ethnic divides between the Hutu and Tutsi factions that date back to the colonial era sparked the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
