ABSTRACT
This chapter examines two major themes in Fanon’s critique of colonialism. The first theme concerns his conception of the role of violence in the colonial situation; the second is about the connection he draws between language and culture, and can be viewed as an extension of his characterization of the colonial situation as inherently violent. Focus on these two themes should lead to a more elaborate formulation of aspects of the more general account of the colonial situation offered in the last chapter.
