Delany provides examples of cultural programs that are "bent on obliterating discourses"
"The initial treatment by the invading Europeans of Native Americans"
"Germany tried something like it with the Jews"
"By far the most successful of these programs was the program to squash all traces of African language, family forms, and culture in its imported African labor"
