3652-483: The carnage of the Algerian War had mentally affected Algerians' self-identity and mental health. The book argues that during the period of colonization there was a subtle and constant mental pathology that developed within the colonial psyche.

While writing during the early 1980s about the important role played by dissident poets and writers of Afrikaans literature in the internal opposition to South Africa under apartheid , Jack Cope expressed a belief that the great tragedy of post-colonial South African history is the failure of the National Party government to seemingly learn anything from

In an effort to defend the Welsh language and Welsh culture from being lost to Anglicisation , Iolo Morganwg spearheaded

4814-605: The institutional benefits of being Spanish (such as higher educational institutions and career opportunities), could do so by suppressing their own cultures and acting with "Spanishness". This mentality lead to commonplace racial forgery in Latin America, often accompanied by legitimizing oral accounts of a Spanish ancestor and a Spanish surname. Most mixed-white and white people in Latin America have Spanish surnames inherited from Spanish ancestors, while most other Latin Americans who have Spanish names and surnames acquired them through

Such a mentality may also be developed among the descendants of families who chose voluntary immigration to another nation state, only to be similarly gaslit, bullied, and shamed for their bilingualism , loyalty to any elements of their ancestral culture, and ability to speak immigrant languages (see hyphenated Americans ). The term has been used by postcolonial scholars to discuss

Fanon observed that average Algerians internalized and then openly repeated remarks that were in line with the institutionalized racist culture of the French colonizers; dismissing their own culture as backward due to the internalization of Western colonial ideologies.
