Quotes by David Macey (?)

“As I have argued in Chapter 1, to confuse the anti-colonialism of the 1950s and 1960s with the post-colonialism of the last decade of the twentieth century is to depoliticize Fanon to a disastrous extent. After all, no one is going to take to the streets in the name of post-colonalism. And no one is going to die for it.”

“Given Fanon鈥檚 subsequent traumatic encounter with the white gaze (鈥楲ook, maman, a negro鈥�), it is ironic that it was he and Manville who gazed at the children and could not take their eyes off them. They had never seen a girl with truly red hair, or such a blond boy, and they were fascinated.”

“Fanon had learned that freedom was not indivisible. He was a black soldier in a white man鈥檚 army. Writing to his mother that same month, Fanon tried to hide his true feelings, and spoke longingly of the punch and blaff he was looking forward to when he got back to Martinique, but another letter written to both his parents on 12 April 1945 tells a different story: Today, 12 April. It is a year since I left Fort-de-France. Why? To defend an obsolete ideal. I don鈥檛 think I鈥檒l make it this time. During all the scraps I鈥檝e been in, I鈥檝e been anxious to get back to you, and I鈥檝e been lucky. But today, I鈥檓 wondering whether I might not soon have to face the ordeal. I鈥檝e lost confidence in everything, even myself. If I don鈥檛 come back, and if one day you should learn that I died facing the enemy, console each other, but never say: he died for the good cause. Say: God called him back to him. This false ideology that shields the secularists and the idiot politicians must not delude us any longer. I was wrong!”
