ClaP 88 — VIOLENT DECOLONIZATION, clearly and simply. (Frantz FANON)

For Frantz Fanon, "violent decolonization" refers to the idea that decolonization often takes a conflictual form because colonial domination itself is based on violence, oppression, and dehumanization. In "The Wretched of the Earth," Fanon argues that the colonial world is structured by a brutal power dynamic between colonizers and colonized, such that liberation generally cannot be achieved through simple peaceful reform. Revolutionary violence thus appears, for him, both as a means of overthrowing the colonial order and as a process of reclaiming dignity for dominated peoples. This much-debated thesis is part of a broader reflection on alienation, political struggle, and emancipation. Want to learn more? Here's a clear and rigorous summary in 8 minutes.
