The transition from subsistence production to market production, particularly through forced labor and wages, would likely have significant impacts on an extended family that had previously subsisted on horticulture. Firstly, the shift to market production would likely disrupt the traditional roles and responsibilities within the family. In a subsistence-based horticultural society, family members would have had specific tasks related to food production and household maintenance. With the introduction of forced labor and wages, these roles may change or become obsolete, leading to potential conflicts and power struggles within the family unit. Additionally, the economic pressures of market production could lead to increased stress and strain on family relationships. The need to meet production quotas and earn wages could lead to longer working hours and less time for family bonding and communal activities. This could lead to a breakdown in the traditional support systems and social cohesion within the extended family. Furthermore, the psychological impact of being subjected to forced labor and wages could have long-lasting effects on later generations. The trauma and exploitation experienced by the original colonized individuals could be passed down through familial and cultural narratives, leading to ongoing feelings of resentment, distrust, and disempowerment within the community. Even after the colonized country was "freed," the legacy of colonialism could continue to affect later generations. The economic and social structures put in place by the colonizers may persist, leading to ongoing inequalities and power imbalances within the society. Additionally, the cultural and psychological impacts of colonialism may continue to shape the identity and experiences of individuals and communities, impacting their relationships, opportunities, and sense of agency. In conclusion, the transition from subsistence production to market production through colonialism would have significant and long-lasting effects on extended families, impacting their roles, relationships, and well-being. The legacy of colonialism could continue to shape the experiences and opportunities of later generations, even after the formal end of colonial rule.
