ABSTRACT

A recurring concern that gives the writings of Frantz Fanon an underlying unity and substance is his attempt to understand and help in resolving what he once described as “the Black-White relation.” 1 This expression refers basically to a particular type of culture and race contact which, in his view, is fostered by colonialism and colonial rule. The primary purpose of this chapter is an examination of Fanon’s characterization and critique of certain aspects of colonialism.
