Document Summary

Lecture (3/21/16) afterword by susan g. miller. For miller, the memmi book explains to the world the personalities, the processes and the inevitable outcomes of the colonist condition . 2 key ideas: the notion of the portrait of the main actors (colonized and colonizer) as two actual personality types, the idea that these two types (which sustain colonialism are tied together in mutual need) That relationship of mutual need could be broken only by radical change. As a tunisian and a jew, memmi was part of a subset of the submissive in between the colonizer and the colonized: lived the experience of the colonized, had the education of a european. All colonized are disfigured by the disease of servitude . The only cure for the pathological condition is national liberation. Role of women in colonial settings is ignored or treated with contempt. Language learning is no longer attached to a cultural crisis .
