The house Muslim acts under false consciousness rather than deliberate treachery

Evidence

Do not interpret the world, a man in German shoes once said—change it! In the final analysis neither should the native informer be demonized nor the recodification of racism fetishized. False consciousness is just how commodity fetishization and alienation operate. But in my mirror, the native informer cannot hide, for in his mirror I have shown him his face—taken the white mask off his brown skin. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 637

Categorization

• DEFINE: Clarifies false consciousness as commodity fetishization and alienation, and identifies the native informer as its carrier.
• XREF: The ‘white mask off brown skin’ echoes the book’s title, which itself plays on Frantz Fanon’s ‘Black Skin, White Masks.’ — connects to: Pro-empire Muslim accommodation fails to win even a seat at the table — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of…, 675
