[The colonizer] provokes and develops the cultural alienation of a part of the population, either by so-called assimilation, or by creating a social gap between the indigenous elites and the popular masses.
As a result of this process of dividing or of deepening the divisions in the society it happens that a con-siderable part of the population, notably the urban or peasant petit bourgeoi-sie, assimilates the colonizer’s mentality, considers itself culturally superior to its own people and ignores or looks down upon their cultural values.
