One of the consequences of the denigration of indigenous culture is to undermine the native s will to resist the colonial regime. - The native s internalization of the colonist s view of him makes the realisation of social control less problematic. Conversely the renaissance of indigenous culture implies a serious threat to continued colonial domination. 70 As Balandier puts it European racialism could be countered by racialism on the part of the colonised - induced by the former.71 Essential to any colonial relationship were rationalisations meant to justify the position of the colonisers. These included the assertion of racial and cultural superiority the argument that native peoples did not have the leadership skills needed to advance that they were unable to exploit the natural resources of their countries and that they lacked the finance. This meant in effect that colonial relationships were underpinned by ideologies that generated and were in turn generated by stereotyped behaviour.72 It was these ideologies and the rationalizations embedded in them that enabled a numerical minority of colonisers to establish social political and economic power over the typically much greater numbers of people they subordinated.73 But as we shall see presently the culture of colonialism was to repeat an earlier point not simply a matter of subordination. Before coming to that the idea of internal colonialism needs to be considered principally because it is something once again connected with the moral legitimacy of international society and has relevance for the contemporary situation of many indigenous peoples who claim that for them colonialism has not ended.
