Donna Merwick, in The Shame and the Sorrow, asks this question. She points to a betrayal both of their own values and of the native peoples. She also directs us to the self-delusion of hegemonic control. Her work belongs alongside the best of today's postcolonial studies in the description of cross-cultural violence and subtle questioning of the nature of writing its history."--Book jacket UR - https://muse.jhu.edu/book/22083/ UR - http://www.udb.edu.sv/biblioteca/inicio_recursos_electronicos.php ER -
