I’d never thought about this. Quite possibly learning about colonialism in an entirely Indian setting was very healthy. Zero trauma. It was just another mythologized story about good beating evil like the Mahabharata.

I would like someone to research the psychological impact on black students of learning about the horrors of the Transatlantic Chattel Slavery in a predominantly white learning space. It was a personally traumatic experience for me and I wonder if others have felt the same.
