ON VIOLENCE

"THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLONIST SIGNIFIED SYNCRETICALLY THE DEATH OF INDIGENOUS SOCIETY, CULTURAL LETHARGY, AND PETRIFACTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL. FOR THE COLONIZED, LIFE CAN ONLY MATERIALIZE FROM THE ROTTING CADAVER OF THE COLONIST. SUCH THEN IS THE TERM-FOR-TERM CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ARGUMENTS...(THE THEORY OF THE "ABSOLUTE EVIL OF THE COLONIST" IS RESPONCE TO THE THEORY OF THE "ABSOLUTE EVIL OF THE NATIVE.")"
