About Writer

5. Presentation title 5
• The text consisting five chapter.
• The Wretched of the Earth concludes with one of Fanon’s most provocative and exciting pieces
• In Chapter 1, “On Violence,” Fanon introduces the colonial world as one that is divided into the
colonist and the colonized. These identities are created by the colonist in order to assert his own
superiority.
• in Chapter 2, the colonized may form a number of political organizations. The colonized elites in
urban areas—intellectuals and owners of businesses—may form political parties, but these tend to
ignore the needs and desires of the colonized.
• In Chapter 3, Fanon discusses how these different groups—the urban elite, urban workers, and rural
fighters—get together to form a nation after independence from the colonists.
• Chapter 4 is about national “culture,” and how intellectuals relate to culture under colonialism and
while fighting colonialism. Fanon tracks a trajectory among intellectuals, who move from wanting to
mimic European culture, to claiming the superiority of African culture, to, finally, contributing to the
national fight against colonization. For Fanon, culture must be a part of the fight for nationalism.
• In Chapter 5, Fanon draws upon his research as a psychiatrist in Algeria in the 1950s to describe the
psychological disorders colonialism produces in both the colonist and the colonized.

What is decolonization?
• According to Cambridge dictionary the process in which a country that
was previously a colony controlled by other
country) becomes politically independent; the process of
getting rid of colonies.
According to Tuck and Yang, a common move of settler innocence occurs when
people rely too heavily on the notion to ‘decolonize your mind,’ thinking, or
knowledge. This can include efforts to read more Black, Brown, and Indigenous
writers, for example. Decolonial curriculum and thinking can, indeed, be a
substantial part of the movement. It is a powerful tool for deconstructing colonial
influences on knowledge and education.
Memmi refers to them as "descriptive portraits" and they are vivid, easily
recognizable and seductive ideal types. His arguments are stated boldly and his
authorial voice is free from idling apprehension.

7. Violence in The Wretched of The Earth
Presentation title 7
 On Violence was written as a critical reflection on the 1968 student riots in Europe and the
US and it is in this context that Arendt takes issue with Fanon, Jean-Paul Sartre and
George Sorel, as leading thinkers who, Arendt suggests, defend violence for its own sake.
 Fanon’s outlines both the potentialities and negative aspects of violence
 His most famous and controversial remarks are those around the cathartic and self-
Actualizing affect that violence can have on a colonial subject.
 As fanon use example of Algerian in that he notes that decolonization is the meeting of
two forces, opposed to each other by their very nature…[t]heir first encounter was marked
by violence and their existence together – that is to say the exploitation of the native by
the settler – was carried on by dint of a great array of bayonets and cannons.
 In the preface to Wretched of the Earth, Sartre usefully Summarizes Fanon’s analysis of
violence and situates it within medicalized discourse by stating that ‘The native cures
himself of colonial neurosis by thrusting out the settler through force of arms’ To explain
this, Fanon draws upon examples from his psychiatric practice.

• These observations done by Josh Pallas who is a Research Assistant in
Politics and International Studies at the Faculty of Law, Humanities
and the Arts.
• violence is an undoubtedly negative effect, as well as the ensuing mental
health issues that arise.
• As Fanon views violence as the currency of colonialism, it becomes an
omnipresent feature of daily life for the colonial subject.
• Frantz Fanon provides a useful account of both the positive and negative
effects of colonial violence on individuals.

9. Case Study by Fanon on Violence
Presentation title 9
• One patient presented to Fanon suffering from sexual impotence The patient, a taxi-driver, told Fanon how
his wife had been beaten for two days and raped after French troops found his abandoned taxi with FLN
material inside.
• Another patient, ‘Dj’ presented to Fanon with hallucinations and insomnia (1963: 261). Dj was the only
male in his household . After he joined the ALN (a liberation organization affiliated with the FLN), word
was sent to him that his mother and sisters had been killed by French soldiers;
• Fanon notes that whilst in a state of being ‘temporarily insane’, Dj then went to the house of an ‘agent’ for
the French and murdered the agent’s wife (1963: 263).

10. Presentation title 10
Violence in Heart Of Darkness
• Heart of Darkness is written by Joseph Conrad. In which writer mainly
focus on idea of colonialism
• In Heart of Darkness, African natives are enslaved and abused, crying out
voicelessly against the oppression of imperialism.
• Each instance of Marlow’s interaction with male African natives reflects
death, destruction, and violence. Being an experienced sailor, he claims to
have seen the “devil of violence.
• The natives are seen chained by iron collars abut their necks, starved,
beaten, subsisting on rotten hippo meat, forced into soul−crushing and
meaningless and finally ruthlessly murdered.
• Beyond this, it is implied that Kurtz has had human sacrifices performed
for him, and the reader is presented with the sight of a row of severed
human heads impaled on posts leading to Kurtz’s cabin.

11. An Express Research Group Report: India’s most densely
populated district, with the Capital’s lowest number of banks.
From its small coaching centers its little businesses, its open
drains to its Metro line, its mixed population to the recent
Polarization, what frames the Northeast Delhi violence, leaving
42 dead?
as homes and shops were burnt down and gunshots rang
through crowded lanes, a part of the nation’s Capital was
thrust into the nation’s consciousness — Northeast Delhi,
India’s most densely populated district, one of its poorest,
holding the highest Muslim population among Delhi’s nine
Census districts and the least number of its bank branches.

Violence in Recent Times: With reference to Heart of Darkness&
Wretched of the Earth

Violence in Black Lives Matter Movement
 In the one Article of research Gate by Achir Saxena who was
from Ambedkar University Delhi these observations are done by him.

Black lives matter movement is a part of Decolonization
 Black Lives Matter is a community based movement that advanced as a
consequence of a Facebook post made by an activist from Oakland.
 Black Lives Matter means numerous things to numerous individuals, yet its voice
has been most resoundingly heard in situations where the revitalizing cry is the
subject of the utilization of ridiculous destructive compel against an unarmed
Black individual by a cop.
 From the above research we came to conclusion that not only the black lives
matter but the lives of indigenous people also matter because both are interlinked
with each other, both faced oppression and discrimination from the colonizers.

13. Edward said: the postcolonial theory and
the literature of decolonization
Presentation title 13
• As Lutfi Hamadi, PhD Lebanese International University, Lebanon noted about this
theory
• This theory is mainly based on what Said considers the false image of the Orient
fabricated by Western thinkers as the primitive "other" in contrast with the civilized
West.
• He believes that the consequences of colonialism are still persisting in the form of
chaos, coups, corruption, civil wars, and bloodshed, which permeates many ex-
colonies. The powerful colonizer has imposed a language and a culture, whereas those
of the Oriental peoples have been ignored.

14. Conclusion
Presentation title 14
• So to sum up it can be said that decolonization is not only matter of big colony like
America, United Kingdom but it is also seen in india as well as there is also movement
for decolonization.
• It is, therefore, noted that decolonization is a political procedure that involves violence
and conflicts. In most cases, negotiations fail to solve the problem of colonization
because of the intricacies involved. In this case, the colonized resort to violence may
take the form of a revolution.
