There is an essay by Stuart Hall entitled "The West and The Rest: Power and
Ideology in the Age of Exploration" (at least, I think that's the title) in
a book co-edited by Hall and David Held, "Modernity: An Introduction to
Modern Societies."
Also, you might want to track down a short essay by Foucault entitled "Of
Other Spaces," regarding "utopias" and what he called "heterotopias," which
I believe appeared in "Diacritics" in 1986. In general, I would think that
his views on colonization might be best inferred from his essays and
interviews dealing explicitly with the relation between "space" and "power."
