It is a matter of historical fact that European nations have utilized military power to establish and maintain rule over indigenous peoples of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. What is not so readily apparent is that these dominating nations have devised and deployed terms of discourse in their languages which serve to justify, confirm and perpetuate their ascendancy over the subjugated peoples. The dominators have promulgated their own account of their imperialist activity and defined to their own advantage the identity, status, and appropriate destiny of the dominated. In this way, the European overlords (and their neo-European inheritors and continuators in the Americas) determined how the historic encounter between European and non-European peoples was to be conceptualized and in what terms of discourse it was to be discussed
