One variant of neocolonialism theory critiques ''[[cultural colonialism]]'', the desire of wealthy nations to control other nations' values and perceptions through cultural means such as [[Mass media|media]], language, education<ref>{{cite web |url=https://getd.libs.uga.edu/pdfs/sabrin_mohammed_201305_phd.pdf |title=Exploring the Intellectual Foundations of Egyptian National Education |last=Sabrin |first=Mohammed |date=2013 |website=www.getd.libs.uga.edu/ }}</ref> and religion, ultimately for economic reasons. One impact of this is "[[colonial mentality]]", feelings of inferiority that lead post-colonial societies to latch onto physical and cultural differences between the foreigners and themselves. Foreign ways become held in higher esteem than indigenous ways. Given that colonists and colonisers were generally of different races, the colonised may over time hold that the colonisers' race was responsible for their superiority. Rejections of the colonisers culture, such as the [[Negritude]] movement, have been employed to overcome these associations. Post-colonial importation or continuation of cultural mores or elements may be regarded as a form of neocolonialism.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}

{{Main|Postcolonialism}}
Post-colonialism theories in philosophy, political science, [[post-colonial literature|literature]] and film deal with the cultural legacy of colonial rule. Post-colonialism studies examine how once-colonised writers articulate their national identity; how knowledge about the colonised was generated and applied in service to the interests of the coloniser; and how colonialist literature justified colonialism by presenting the colonised people as inferior whose society, culture and economy must be managed for them. Post-colonial studies incorporate subaltern studies of "[[People's history|history from below]]"; post-colonial cultural evolution; the [[psychopathology]] of colonisation (by [[Frantz Fanon]]); and the cinema of film makers such as the Cuban [[Third Cinema]], e.g. [[Tomás Gutiérrez Alea]], and [[Kidlat Tahimik]].{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}
