The interesting thing about Canon and this book is that, the tone sounds all too familiar and yet is unique at the same time. Instead of being just one long diatribe about the ills of colonialism, this book goes in-depth into the psychology of the colonized. Even more remarkable is his piercing, undeniably accurate perspective of the mindset of the leaders of the newly independent countries of Africa. While, as the translator even alluded to in his commentary, many of his views particularly on pan-africanism were wrong, he was prophetic in his description of the African ruling class. Essentially, African nations since independence have taken the very template the colonizers used on them, and neo-colonialist still use today. I won't stretch this much beyond what has already been said in this book. One only needs to look at Africa and the Caribbean for that matter, today, to see all of Fanon's key points checked off.Easily one of the most extraordinary takes on the subject I've come across.
I actually like the idea of supporting a press that is publishing Fanon.When I was growing up with my dad working with the SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as part of the night security crew for the summer marches, I was probably more aware than most Americans -- certainly most Americans outside of the black community -- of how much permeability there was between the nonviolent SCLC, and the Black Panther movement, for which Fanon was a seed influence.Youth in the SNCC organization, the youth group associated with the SCLC, often went back and forth between SNCC and the Panthers as they developed their activist identity and their ideas of how justice might be achieved.The phrase "by any means necessary" used by the Panthers often scared the bejeezus out of the white community. But when I sat down with my father -- who was an adherent of formal nonviolence -- he handed me Fanon to read, and told me that it was a valid investigation as to whether violence should be considered if nonviolent means were not entertained by the state.To my dad, who was a peaceful but fiercely justice-oriented man (for those of you who know the idiom "fire of Amos" he had it), he considered that without the counterpoint of the Panthers, MLK would never have gotten a hearing in Washington DC.Just the idea that there were revolutionaries in American society looking at American "apartheid" and saying, "We are willing to take care of our own if you separate us. We see our situation as that of a post-colonial slavery society and use the model of African liberation as our model. We are willing to be peaceful if we are given justice in peace, but we do not believe that you are acting in good faith and will use whatever means necessary to see you follow your own promises of justice and see justice for our own people if you will not see that done."That was actually a step down from Fanon. That was actually optimism.But all white Americans heard out of any of that was: "...by any means necessary." They didn't think of how they were creating the circumstances that might precipitate violence. That whites had created a system that instituted violence to keep slaves, and later free blacks, contained and preserve power and privilege for the white majority.It is hard for most Americans to even realize that America -- although we became independent from England -- continued as a colonial nation and economy on our own continent and territory. That all the institutions of the repression and destruction of indigenous and imported-slave cultures that happened "over there" in countries that Europeans colonized far from home, we did at home as a break-away colony, and the Europeans who conquered America never relented, compromised, or acknowledged that colonial reality in the way that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, and British Empires did in their colonial domains.So Fanon is someone worth reading, not only for Africans, or for African-Americans, but for any American or anyone else in the world who wants to better ponder white privilege in America and how it became so very different from colonial privilege as that faded in Africa, through the lens of this Algerian revolutionary philosopher, who so influenced our Panthers.I remain committed to nonviolence personally, but I understand intensely how MLK and Malcolm balance each other. And how that can actually lead to better peaceful solutions, in a social justice conflict where the status quo has been preserved by judicial and extrajudicial violence by a superior force.This is still relevant in puppet regimes all over the world. In client states of capitalist powers and of Russia and China. In the conflicts surrounding Israel, and the conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia that are often couched in sectarian terms or sectarian vs secular terms.It is vital to understanding countries like Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the dynamics of early black leadership as colonial-wannabes are creating environments of corruption and scandal, and robbing their own people.Everyone should read Fanon. If you can't afford the book here, you can find it online free. This book, and Black Skin, White Masks, both highly recommended.If you don't like Marxist/Socialist politics, try to suspend disbelief a bit. The philosophy, sociology, and psychology is amazing.
Historical writings of Fanon, kind of hand in hand with Sartre, a requirement to understand the social upheavals of the 50's and 60's, which led to the Paris riots and all that followed. Not light reading, but certainly required of historians of colonialism, wars of liberation, and all that.
This is my first reading of both this text and Fanon in general.In reading this book I am beginnjng to get a grasp on just how pernicious colonialism was then and the stranglehold it still has on black folks around the world
Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth is a seminal work. What this book adds to the human and historical perspective of colonialism is invaluable. There is no other work that enumerates quite so well what colonialism does to the human being suffering under its yoke like this book, and it is this point which makes this work so very powerful.What strikes the reader very early on in this reading is the raw emotion. Each page is dripping with rage and anger of the dispossessed, but while this anger is palpable and real the book does not suffer from that emotion. In fact it is enhanced by it. The writing is very matter of fact which gives the emotion this eerie feeling of naturalness as if this anger and hatred for the colonial system is nothing but the logical outgrowth and conclusion to that very system. This is the human perspective at its most elementary. While this work is very lucid and intelligent, the author does not hide the ugly realities behind any veneer of scholarly wordplay. There is a quote from Aime Cesaire's Les Armes Miraculeuses that is brutal and haunting that expresses the violent impulse to cast off oppression when the chance arises no matter what form that oppression takes. It is this brutal honesty and the matter-of-factness with the violence that does so much to expose what the colonial system does to human beings.The historical perspective is equally important because it gives readers a chance to see the evolution of resistance. Fanon allows readers into the very mind of the resistance, and let's us see the dehumanizing affect of this horrible system and its inevitable end point. His discussion of revolutionary movements and the impulses behind them is invaluable for the historian. He offers a psychological analysis as well as an historical analysis. That's why this book is so vital to understanding the whole of colonialism, or at least as close to the whole as anyone can come.I do have some criticisms as well. I found the book to be an extremely difficult read. The reason for the difficulty is the narrative style. The book is written almost as a stream of consciousness. The book feels as if the author just sat down and started writing his thoughts down and that became this book. The work cries out for some sort of organization or structure; something to delineate Fanon's thoughts and to map out for the reader just what they are reading at a given time. The style of the writing is excellent. It is only the narrative that I found so difficult.Even with my criticism this book is still an important read. The perspective it offers is like no other, and it is this that makes the book so valuable. If you really want to know what colonialism is and what it does then this book has to be read. I highly recommend this bok.
