Students,
As mentioned in the last class, we will be proceeding with reading the first chapter of Frantz Fanon’s most critically-acclaimed work called The Wretched of the Earth. Always take good notes of important ideas while reading!
Question 1 What does Fanon mean with this opening paragraph of an essay? What exactly does the exercise of violence help to demonstrate to the oppressed during a revolution? Can marginalized groups in todays American societies think of using violence to get the attention of societys leaders towards their problems? Why or why not?
Decolonization, therefore, implies the urgent need to thor oughly challenge the colonial situation. Its definition can, if we want to describe it accurately, be summed up in the well-known words: “The last shall be first.” Decolonization is verification of this.
Question 2 Explain what Fanon would describe as a successful revolution. What must happen in the colonized society? Would Fanon still regard an incomplete revolution as a success for a colonized population?
Question 3 Which institution or force does Fanon say represents the dividing line or point of separation between the colonized sector and the colonists sector? Can you think of a similar dividing line in New York City today between the financially-stable and the poor? Describe it.
Question 4 Describe how Fanon describes the physical living environment of the colonized sector, and how does he contrast this with the living conditions of the colonists sector? Now think about the majority of your own familys living circumstances in present times. Which part of the dividing line in todays societies does your family live? About how many years would it take to educate your extended family before being able to attempt a revolution to emancipate your family, if you previously said your family lives in todays colonized sectors?
