Confrontation between social identities which are historically and functionally different.

Liberation movement can make a contribution to the people struggling with domination of imperialism. Mistaken idea of culture in liberation movement. Indestructible character of the cultural resistance of the masses of the people when confronted with forage domination. Only so called positive forward set forth by colonization was assimilation which failed. Imperialism could not destroy strongest aspect of culture. Colonials had no interest in promoting culture of indigenous. Effectiveness of culture resistance of the people. Those assimilated cannot escape from being marginalized.
