Colonial color-class hierarchies enforced within families can destroy colonized subjects

Evidence

What is true is that under normal conditions, an interaction must exist between the family and society at large. The home is the basis of the truth of society, but society authenticates and legitimizes the family. The colonial structure is the very negation of this reciprocal justification. The Algerian woman, in imposing such a restriction on herself, in choosing a form of existence limited in scope, was deepening her consciousness of struggle and preparing for combat. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 230 (#expands, via linked claim)

No human contact, but relations of domination and submission which turn the colonizing man into a class-room monitor, an army sergeant, a prison guard, a slave driver, and the indigenous man into an instrument of production. — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 52 (#expands, via linked claim)
