Richard Cumberland wrote plays that had sympathetic depictions of the characters that focused on what mindset, based on unequal relationships between two countries?
Colonialism Colonialism is the establishment of a colony in one territory by a political power from another territory, and the subsequent maintenance, expansion, and exploitation of that colony.

Abdirahman Hussein Abdirahman Hussein (born in Hargeisa, Somaliland) is a scholar and teacher who taught at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. He is best known for his book on Edward Said, "Edward Said: Criticism and Society" (London: Verso, 2002), in which he offers a critical study of Said and his influences. The book was praised by Bart Moore-Gilbert for its "judicious critique" of Moore-Gilbert's own 1997 study of Said in which, he says, he did not pay sufficient attention to the "Palestinian dimensions and orientations of Said's thinking". Also noted is Hussein's "triangulation" of Joseph Conrad, whose "Heart of Darkness" is, according to Hussein, "foundational to Said's entire career and project". One of Hussein's focal points is Said's 1976 book "Beginnings: Intention and Method", whose importance he says is overlooked.
