Northern-educated Southern leaders internalize the view that their own cultures are inferior

Evidence

So, when they learn math and science and history, they also learn Northern/modern assumptions about what kinds of scientific information to trust, what kinds of research and data really matter, which traditions are valuable, and which are simply “behind.” All of these ideas of what constitutes cultural and economic “advancement” rely on specific dualized and hierarchized metaphors (advanced/behind, developed/ undeveloped, for example) and are part of the overarching discourse of modernity, in particularly the discourse of “progress.” These fundamental discourses created the hierarchized thinking that made colonization possible. — Rebecca A. Martusewicz, Jeff Edmundson, and John Lupinacci, EcoJustice Education, 1380
