What is a term for cultural and social influences left by colonial power that has a long-lasting, negative influence?

"[Post-]Colonial Entanglement" is a term used by historian Achille Mbembe in his book On the Postcolony, to describe:
the coercion to which people are subject, ... a whole cluster of reorderings of society, culture, and identity, and a series of recent changes in the way power is exercised and rationalized.
I don't think its necessarily meant to describe only bad things (value judgements are understandable here, but perhaps best left to the political sphere), but rather to talk about the lasting complexities left behind by the colonial experience. But of course those changes were necessarily at their source coercive. Very few colonized societies had to beg a reluctant colonizer to come take their societies over.
