Psychological effects of colonialism on colonised colonial power depends on racial distinctions btwn white and black. Symbolic and emotional: black men in french colony are phobogenic object" scape goats, the evil in all of us, because they were submersed in said culture, they absorbed negative self-perceptions. Mama the negro is going to eat me when we don"t fight back, we give ourselves up as an object . Takes different forms depending on the society: master-slave: master takes the opposition of the slave i am your master bc you are a slave, refusing to recognize independent consciousness. Slave forms his own consciousness, so master will accept him. There shouldn"t be an attempt to fixate man since it is his destiny to be unleashed".
