Taking the ak sakal’s perspective into account; I believe that multicultural countries
that were subjugated to colonialism are uniquely disadvantaged when it comes to the
prospects of developing a unifying social solidarity. I further believe the likelihood of
this being true would be greater for multicultural countries that were colonized and
consist of one or more indigenous populations. The practice of placing different cultures
opposite each other was a common goal of colonialism for the very purpose of stunting
indigenous stability.
