ABSTRACT

That transformation of the world order is not merely destructive, Fanon explained. It is also a work of creation. The revolution produces “new men” with a “new language and a new humanity.” We, the colonized, Fanon urged, must “change our ways” from a “nauseating mimicry” that copies the European example and pattern. “Leave this Europe,” he exhorted, move “in a new direction,” fashion “the whole man,” and thereby, as Third World peoples, begin “a new history of Man.”1
