In other ways, however, Western intellectuals have little choice; if they are to operate as agents of justice, they must understand the dynamics at work in the world of the indigene. To refuse to operate out of fear of Europeanization reflects a view of Introduction 21 indigenous culture as an authentic, uncontaminated artifact that must be hermetically preserved regardless of the needs of living indigenous people (Ashcroft, Griffiths, & Tiffin, 1995; Howard, 1995). The process of Europeanization with its colonialistic perspectives toward indigenous knowledge continues to operate despite both insightful and misguided attempts to thwart it.
As white allies worked out their identity crises in the indigenous cultural context, they appropriated not only the cultural styles of the Sioux but many times claimed their “oppression capital”—the “status” of marginality among proponents of social justice. Such a vampirism sucked the blood of indigenous suffering out of the veins of the Native Americans, in the process contributing little to the larger cause of social justice. The only struggle in which many of these vampires engaged was a personal quest for a new identity.
Thus, in its rationalistic womb whiteness begins to establish itself as a norm that represents an authoritative, delimited, and hierarchical mode of thought. In the emerging colonial contexts in which whites would increasingly find themselves in the decades and centuries following the Enlightenment, the encounter with non-whiteness would be framed in rationalistic terms—whiteness representing orderliness, rationality, and self-control and non-whiteness as chaos, irrationality, violence, and the breakdown of self-regulation.
