Passage: Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched of the Earth' provides a psychological and political analysis of decolonization. Fanon argues that colonialism is a system of 'absolute violence' that can only be overcome through violent resistance. He suggests that for the colonized person, the act of violence is a 'cleansing force' that restores their humanity and shatters the psychological bonds of inferiority imposed by the colonizer. Fanon emphasizes the importance of a national consciousness that transcends tribal or regional identities to build a unified movement.

His work remains a foundational text for understanding the revolutionary struggles of the global south. why does Fanon advocate for violent resistance in decolonization?

  1. To permanently maintain the psychological bonds of the previous system.
  2. To establish a new regional identity based on tribal history.
  3. Because it is the only way to avoid absolute violence from the colonizer.
  4. As a cleansing force to restore the colonized person's humanity.
