| Summary: | Chapter 4 of the book "Canonization, Colonization, Decolonization: A Comparative Study of Political and Critical Works by Minority Writers" is presented. It explores traces of racism and cultural imperialism in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and John Neihardt's "Black Elk Speaks." The author argues that Conrad's attack on European colonialism has betrayed the colonized Africans, and such betrayal reinforces the point about his inability to empathize with Africans. |
