Decolonise This! - Episode One – Frantz Fanon – Colonialism as Violence

Decolonise This! is an educational video series contributing to a global debate on the legacies of European colonialism, imperialism, racial slavery and genocide. It brings theories from the Radical South, as well as, radical theorists from the North, to an audience working in the “humanitarian and international development” sectors. This episode features the work of Martinican psychiatrist and philosopher Frantz Fanon, whose understanding of colonialism as violence marked a shift in how we conceptualise colonialism and its aftermath today.
