In many situations, and the one described in "Coup de Torchon" is an eloquent example, native societies do not exist.
If we have a look at the solitary native society, as described in Daniel Mengara's book "Mema," and then turn to the situation described in "Coup de Torchon," we have a relevant experience of what it means to place together two entirely different social structures. This is perhaps one of the most relevant conclusions of this analysis in terms of human geography and human geography factors.
The impact between colonial culture and native culture was so dramatic in so many cases because (1) the native cultural structure was typically isolated, with almost no contact with the exterior and (2) because the differences between the two cultural and social structures were impossible to smoothen out: there was simply a significant temporal difference, with native cultures still baring many traditions belonging to pre-colonial eras. A villager from "Mema" would never understand why the Agora where the decisions are taken cannot exist in "Coup de Torchon." It is simply because the white colonialists had suppressed, in their favor, any form of local democracies.
