I think your framing as a native/foreigner concept is a little off which is why you're having trouble finding similar research to your own goals, when the colonized/colonizer issue is more salient. Have you read up on postcolonialism, decolonization of history, those sorts of terms? Here's an example of a work. That fit your mood? There is a LOT of work in this field, I am mostly familiar with it from an archival perspective, we study things like post-custodial collecting from the perspective of postcolonialism.

Have you read Orientalism by Said? Although he specifically was interested in the Middle East in European scholarship, his conclusions can be applied elsewhere.

Said makes very valid points, and they probably roughly align with what you are looking for. However, Said has been criticized (especially in being slightly conspiratorial and a lack of rigor in historical analysis), and Dreynard's points here are important too.

In far too many cases, due to various circumstances, local historians fail to receive the training and resources which their foreign counterparts receive. Some fall victim to repeating borderline-propagandistic nationalist narratives, some repeat well-worn arguments of decades past, while others produce stellar research despite the difficult conditions which unfortunately rarely has a global scholarly impact due to their comparative lack of resources. The First-World centric nature of global scholarship is a problem which needs to change, but it is a thorny issue.
