Subaltern – of a lower status. 

Orientalism – the representation of Asia in a stereotyped way that is regarded as embodying a colonialist attitude.

Exoticism – being attractive due to being unusual/ style characteristic of a foreign country 

Mimicry – imitating something or someone to ridicule them.

Task 2 –  

I think a film that expresses some of the themes of the poem is The Lost City of Z. In the film British explorers travel to the amazon to try and map it out. Whilst they are there, they discover the remains of an old city that was quite advanced. When they return to England the explorers and the native people of the Amazon try to convince people to help them look for the city. However, the people in the archaeological society do not believe that the native people could have built things such as waterways and pottery as they are treated as less civilised. They are laughed at for suggesting that they could have been an advanced society as it is expressed by them that without assistance from the British people, they would not be able to do anything alone. This reflects the idea of the poem that white colonisation was thought of as helping the other races to become more civilised even though it was actually harming them and treating them as subordinate.
