Frantz Fanon
"Every effort is made to bring the colonized person person to admit the inferiority of his culture which has been transformed into instinctive patterns of behavior, to recognize the unreality of his "nation" and, in the last extreme, the confused and imperfect character of his own biological structure." What is Fanon trying to say here? Fanon is talking about the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. One group of people are dominating another group. They make the other group feel inferior. They tell them that they need to be more culturized. This book, The Wretched of the Earth, is now knows as the handbook to the black revolution to many people. It goes hand and hand to what African- Americans had to go through. This article talks in detail about Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth.
