    Thiong'o places emphasis on language inculcation as a main part of mental colonization. He states that most colonizers attempt to rule by means of physical force, or by means of economic superiority, but although these create a dependency on the colonizers, it is not a willing one. For the colonized people to willingly accept their status as a colony, it is important to establish the language of the colonizers as superior, as it forces everyone to use it and thus adopt the colony identity.
