Question: What literary devices did Richard Wagamese use in this quote

"When your innocence is stripped from you, when your people are denigrated, when the family you came from is denounced and your tribal ways and rituals are pronounced backward, primitive, savage, you come to see yourself as less than human. That is hell on earth, that sense of unworthiness. That's what they inflicted on us. The beatings hurt. The threats belittled us...nighttime invasions." (Wagamese 81) to represent how settlers can be perpetrators of colonial violence and how there is violence hidden behind the "facade of innocence" acts of kindness and benevolence or challenge the peace maker myth of settlers as heroes of Indigenous Peoples.
