Native Intellectuals Static Positions and the Advancement Towards an Active Role

This paper discusses how the native intellectual can come to terms with challenges of associating both West and East. Some intellectuals are left in a contradicting position where if they choose either or East, that entails become tool for one side against other. I argue resistance does not necessarily have be binary situation is cornered other therefore cannot reconcile two sides. Intellectuals who trapped this dichotomy feel choose, while others break free do between these essay demonstrates it possible sides themselves. The traditions discourses through which characters/intellectuals address tension achieved by shift their paradigm different framework “witnessing” “testimony” triggers agency.
