Description

Tracing the thread of an ever-evolving reflection on the colonial phenomenon, experienced from the inside, these texts denounce both colonialism and the pitfalls of decolonization - the "great white error" and the "great black mirage."
Exploring in turn the situation of the colonized, which he can scientifically account for through his daily medical experience, the attitude of left-wing intellectuals towards the Algerian war, the prospects for the conjunction of the struggle of all the colonized and the conditions for an alliance of the entire African continent, Frantz Fanon remained certain of the imminent total liberation of Africa.
His analysis and the clarity of his vision give us today the keys necessary to understand the current African reality. "The military, economic and political effort deployed by France in the Algerian war can only be objectively appreciated in relation to the "French" African whole.
To defeat the Algerian revolution was of course to purge the "nationalist ferment" for another ten years. But it was at the same time to impose silence on potential African liberation movements and above all to mark the young Tunisian and Moroccan independences with the seal of weakness and insecurity. French colonialism in Algeria has considerably enriched the history of the barbaric methods used by international colonialism." Frantz Fanon
