abolitionmedia<p><strong>Manifesting the Vision: On Frantz Fanon’s Fundamental Transformation Period</strong></p><p></p><p><strong><em>by Kwame Beans Shakur, Co-founder and Chairman of New Afrikan Liberation Collective (NALC) and National Director of Prison Lives Matter, Spirit of Mandela Coalition and The People’s Senate</em></strong></p><p>In previous articles, We spoke about developing The New Afrikan People’s Center for Decolonization on ancestral and liberated land in my hood. This changed when NALC was able to purchase a building around the corner from said land in the summer of ’22. This building has a long history of being owned and operated by the New Afrikan Community, dating back to the ‘50s. It was the only Black-owned grocery store in the community. It would later become a New Afrikan motorcycle club in the ‘70s. In the ‘80s it became the first location for the restaurant known as The Black Skillet, and my earliest memory of it in the early 2000s was again that of a grocery/corner store.</p><p>So, it is with great revolutionary spirit and continuing the legacy that We have been renovating the property while reintroducing it to the community as the People’s Programs for Decolonization building. The building and programs are based on the theory and practice laid forth in the FROLINAN (front for the liberation of the New Afrikan Nation) National Strategy/Handbook and Our 10 programs for Decolonization.</p><p>As we continue raising funds to fully renovate and furnish the building to host these programs, We have been able to utilize the space for temporary mutual aid to meet the immediate needs of the people. At the same time, We were able to implement one of the first tangible FROLINAN programs in the Nation on the above-mentioned land where I grew up.</p><p>In April of ’24, comrades traveled from New York and Philly to help Us break ground for the Booker T Washington Community Garden under the banner of the New Afrikan Food Co-Op Program. The food co-op/community garden has a space for community members and comrades to engage in political education or host community events and other formations throughout 2024. The garden includes an indoor greenhouse and a grape arbor.</p><p>In the first year We were able to harvest potatoes, squash, collard greens, okra, corn, tomatoes, green beans, cantaloupe, eggplant, zucchini and a variety of peppers and plant over 30 fruit trees that have been named after current or former political prisoners or freedom fighters as a way to also educate the people as we feed them. In fact, the entire process of food sovereignty and agricultural independence is an educational, economic, political and social development process for the people. It is one of the most important forms of decolonization that we must all adopt next to political education and security.</p><p>We tend to overlook this fundamental process because We are so Neo-colonized within the belly of the beast. We happen to be colonized and held captive inside one of the wealthiest empires in the world, and just like all other forms of capitalist Neo-colonialism, Our captor provides these things for Us at a cost. So, We continue to depend on massa instead of being trained on how to grow and harvest Our own nutritional resources.</p><p>As a nation, We are equated to that of a fetus in the womb with an umbilical cord or a young dependent who doesn’t have to think about where Our food comes from. I’ve said it before: We have to start acting like a Nation of people who actually want liberation and independence and not just an organization or movement of radical amerikans.</p><p>Any nation or group of people who cannot feed themselves naturally become dependent and at the mercy of others. Also, you cannot look back at any successful liberation struggle throughout history where all layers of revolutionary forces didn’t form a united front to carry out the aims and objectives or collective strategies for the people.</p><p>Frantz Fanon talked about the colonized people needing to go through the “fundamental transition period” between being colonial/captive subjects and the “new” people becoming an independent nation. What does this mean? Right now, We are not in control of Our own destiny, We are not in control of Our own day to day affairs. We depend on someone else for food, security, healthcare, technology, clothing, education, political, and governmental policy that dictate Our social reality.</p><p>Again, it’s the umbilical cord. If We just cut it and tried to separate Ourselves fully as it stands right now, We would starve off and die. We have been here before; they claim that We were “freed” from chattel slavery in 1865, but that was only the transition from colonialism into neo-colonialism. For hundreds of years, We had been dependent on Our captors, We weren’t allowed to own anything, We didn’t have any educational, economic, or agricultural autonomy.</p><p>So, with no “fundamental transition period,” one day we’re enslaved and the next day they say We are free. We still had to depend on the colonists for food, shelter, employment and We haven’t recovered to this day from that continued codependency.</p><p>In terms of what this means in 2024 for New Afrikans seeking national liberation and self-government, that transitional decolonization period has to mean Our political organizers, legal body, underground formations, medical cadre, student unions, farmers, and the prison movement all coming together to establish infrastructure that will sustain Us in the future.</p><p>Let’s say the u.s. or united nations honored international law and allowed Us to separate RIGHT NOW! No depending on their food sources, no using their medical facilities, no sending Our children to their schools, etc. What would We do? Where would We be as a people? We would look like the many underdeveloped nations in the motherland who gained their independence during anti-colonial wars over half a century ago. They had the military resistance but failed to establish agriculture, medical or economic structure to sustain the new nation.</p><p>Following the 2021 International Tribunal, the Spirit of Mandela Coalition and those of Us under that umbrella have been taking the fundamental steps towards transitioning the people into various forms of decolonization and implementing strategic measures to guide New Afrikans, Chicanos and Indigenous nations/tribes as national panel and webinars to lay the foundation for the People’s Senate.</p><p><strong><strong>National Coordinating Committees and Regional Coordinating Committees</strong></strong></p><p>Prison Lives Matter is getting back to the core of its organizing capabilities and Our initiatives to build state chapters and regional organizing committees to strengthen the overall national structure as well as the collective aims/objectives within the movement. We called upon people to become field marshals or general members to start inside-out coordination in their state between captive individuals and outside formations, family members, lawyers, students etc. We were receiving all this national mail to one P.O. box in Chicago.</p><p>The original mission was to distribute the mail to comrades/organizations in the state or region from which the inside person wrote and help develop the necessary correspondence to start calls and meetings in that area. Once a statewide chapter is developed, it would then become the responsibility of the outside members to start its own P.O. box or destination for mail in that state.</p><p>We were encouraged by the overwhelming amount of people who tapped in wanting to develop structure in their state or learn more about PLM; however, the lack of organizational structure and coordination within the united front made it hard for one person to respond to all this mail from across the nation. PLM has monthly calls with the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) to discuss the progress of the movement, onboard new individuals, plan upcoming events, and report the status of Our Political prisoners and their campaigns.</p><p>The last three meetings have been focused on rebuilding the internal structure of Our sub-committees, and making sure that We are clear on coordination, communication and capacity that will ultimately help Us properly network and reach Our goals. As I’ve always stressed, despite the name, PLM is not solely about prisoners or the conditions in these kamps. It is a vehicle for decolonization, a united front based on the blueprint of FROLINAN and the concept of We Are Our Own Liberators.</p><p>If properly organized and utilized, it will galvanize the entire movement as We connect the dots between inside-outside struggles and unite New Afrikan, Chicano, Indigenous and poor working-class people in Our international fight against capitalist-imperialism. Along this same call to action, we are calling upon conscious citizens of the Republic of New Afrika, who are vetted in the line of the New Afrikan Independence movement to join the New Afrikan Liberation Collective (NALC) in order to help strengthen and develop FROLINAN.</p><p>So, again We are calling on those who are serious about building infrastructure to step up, reach out and help implement a base in your area. For the role of field marshal, We need those who are experienced organizers, have an existing network in your state or region and have the ability to educate/train others. For those inside, i refer you to your April issue of the San Francisco Bay View. For those outside, search “Kwame Beans Shakur: Call to Action for National Unification.” There you will find the transcription of the Prison Lives Matter: Liberate Our Elders webinar and panel discussion that took place in August of 2023 in</p><p>Oakland, Chicago and New York in order to refresh or gain an overstanding of where We are in Our efforts and what you are stepping into.</p><p>Remember: WE ARE OUR OWN LIBERATORS!

abolitionmedia<p></p><p>Mireille Fanon-Mendès France, president of the Frantz Fanon Foundation and daughter of the influential philosopher and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, recently visited Wallmapu to observe and document the situation of Mapuche political prisoners. Her father’s decolonial theory, expressed in works such as “The Wretched of the Earth,” is a crucial analysis of cultural oppression and colonization, themes that Mireille continues to address in her work on Human Rights. During her visit to Chile, she highlighted the connections between the struggles for self-determination in territories such as Palestine and Wallmapu, drawing a parallel between the practices of resistance to colonization and neoliberalism, the same systems that Frantz Fanon denounced for perpetuating racial and cultural hierarchies. Fanon-Mendès underlines the discriminatory treatment and the “racial justice system” applied by the Chilean State, treating the Mapuche people as an “internal enemy”, this construction seeks, according to Mireille, to justify the expropriation of ancestral lands for the benefit of the state and transnational corporations, sometimes using questionable testimonies and evidence.</p><blockquote><p>“The Chilean State focuses on demonstrating that the Mapuche are an internal enemy, we are facing the construction of a vision of an internal enemy that most of the time is built on cases that have false evidence, false testimonies and bought testimonies.”</p></blockquote><p><strong>Conditions of political imprisonment and cultural rights of Mapuche prisoners.</strong></p><p>On October 21, Mireille Fanon visited the CCP Biobío, where she spoke with Héctor Llaitul, spokesman for the Coordinadora Arauco-Malleco (CAM), who is serving a 23-year sentence on charges related to the State Security Law (15 years). Héctor Llaitul was convicted on charges of theft of wood (5 years) and attack on authority (3 years), charges that he and his family attribute to political persecution, alleging false evidence and forced testimony. The sentence was the result of a trial that spanned more than 25 days, where numerous witnesses appeared, most of them with protected identity.</p><p>In a conversation with Radio Kurruf, Mireille clarified that her visit was organized by the organization Terre et Liberté (France), relatives of Mapuche political prisoners from the CAM and Mapuche communities. In turn, it was the international support network for Mapuche political prisoners of the CAM who asked Mireille to act as an observer during the judicial processes, but since “the agendas did not coincide (…) a more general observation mission was proposed”, finally her itinerary consisted of meetings and visits in Santiago, Concepción and Temuco, including the “young prisoners of the social movement (…) in prison since July 6″ referring to the raid on the Luisa Toledo soup kitchen in Villa Francia and the Mapuche political prisoners.”</p><p>Mireille underscored the differences in the treatment of Mapuche prisoners, whose incarceration “is absolutely related to the land,” emphasizing how the Chilean penal system shows a distinct “racial justice” for non-Mapuche and Mapuche political prisoners. This resonates with the International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 169, which obliges states to respect the cultural rights of indigenous peoples. The situation in the Biobío Penitentiary Complex highlights the failure to comply with these regulations, as Mapuche prisoners face restrictions on practicing their cultural and spiritual traditions, including denial of access to ceremonies and modules adapted to their ancestral practices. These shortcomings reinforce the discrimination that Mireille described as part of a colonial strategy aimed at stripping the Mapuche people of their connection to the land.</p><blockquote><p>“The conditions of imprisonment are quite similar, except specifically what has to do with the conditions of the Mapuche that are absolutely related to the land. The problems, although different, coincide in fighting against the capitalist system (…) but in the Mapuche case there is the situation of belonging to the land that is linked to sovereignty and the problem of colonization, what I am saying is that the land belonged to them before colonization and that this right to ancestral land was taken away by colonization.”</p></blockquote><p><strong>Double standards and racism of the Chilean judicial system.</strong></p><p>When asked about the long sentences imposed on Mapuche political prisoners or practices such as the so-called “early sentences” that materialize in extensive pretrial detentions, Mireille does not fail to mention the differences with which the judicial system operates in Chile when it comes to Mapuche people or social activists:</p><blockquote><p>“… It is a fact and a confirmation of a racial justice that works in one way for Chileans and in another for the Mapuche and the general set of political prisoners. In this sense, the observation mission aims to publicize these particularities, to show how this justice works and why it works that way, because people abroad believe that life is beautiful in Chile. That is why it is important to inform people well and understand well the reasons why the Mapuche are treated in this way.”</p></blockquote><p><strong>Parallels: Palestine, Wallmapu, other struggles and the coloniality of power.</strong></p><blockquote><p>“The struggle of the Mapuche people is as exemplary as that of the Palestinians, the Congolese in defense to preserve their lands, their traditions, it is a struggle for the sovereignty of the land. What the hegemonic power puts at a crossroads is the self-determination of the peoples, the Mapuche and the Palestinians claim this self-determination, much like in Yemen or the Democratic Republic of Congo.”</p></blockquote><p>During the interview, Mireille also addressed the similarities between the Mapuche struggle and the Palestinian resistance. In line with her comments, she observed that peoples who defend their lands and natural resources are often described as “internal enemies,” pointing out how in Chile, the Mapuche are stigmatized and criminalized by transnational corporations and the State, which seek “to have rights to their lands.” The recent escalation of violence in Palestine illustrates this pattern, where the Palestinian people face territorial dispossession and military repression, a conflict that Mireille places as an example of the “coloniality of power” that sacrifices people and cultures in the name of capital and resource exploitation.</p><blockquote><p>“There are many elements in common, but above all the land grabbing, because the colonial system has invaded all spaces in the world and the neoliberal capitalist policy is to take everything that does not belong to it, among other things the natural resources of the earth and when there are peoples who resist that they look for a way to eliminate them in one way or another.”</p></blockquote><p>For Fanon, the intention to eliminate those who resist colonial capitalist policies is reflected both in “Palestine with the genocide that is being committed at this moment” and also in the Democratic Republic of Congo where “by the grabbing of natural resources six million people have been killed without anyone saying anything.” “We can affirm that these dynamics are not incidental, but reflect a power structure imposed since 1492, when colonial expansion began to impose the Eurocentric hierarchy and the dispossession of land.” “This is a colonial strategy that is expressed or executed through the coloniality of power, which to save capital sacrifices people, their traditions, their culture and the relationship with the other, the colonial power has no relationship with the other, only a relationship with money.”</p><p><strong>Active resistance, autonomy and sovereignty.</strong></p><p>In her analysis, the racist and capitalist system that promoted slavery and colonization is still in force in modern mechanisms of domination and exploitation of indigenous peoples and their territories, a “deadly and harmful system” that requires active resistance to preserve the autonomy and sovereignty of peoples, for Mireille “to fight against capitalism is to fight against the paradigm that has been imposed since 1492, a paradigm that imposes whites as the chosen and dominant people, that says that Eurocentric modernity is the only possibility for the world to build democracy and that also says that the lands of others belong to whites because they are the only ones who supposedly know how to exploit them.”</p><p>However, resistance inevitably faces criminalization and those who resist face the possibility of imprisonment, “the capitalist system, starting with slavery, managed to guarantee never to be convicted for the crimes of genocide it committed against humanity, putting into operation a whole system of impunity, which allows us to understand why there are people who defending their land are criminalized and punished, while the system that steals land goes unpunished,” she concluded.</p><p><em>By Noemí Ulloa

abolitionmedia<p></p> <p><em>As the world watches the ongoing genocide in Gaza, a thorough reading and understanding of Frantz Fanon’s writings around colonialism, revolution, and psychology are critical to the struggle for Palestinian liberation, and liberation for us all.</em></p><p><strong><em>Originally published in <a class="" href="https://africasacountry.com/2024/06/the-psychology-of-oppression-and-liberation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Africa is a Country </a>.</em></strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>For Europe, for ourselves, and for humanity … we must work out new concepts and try to set afoot a new man.</strong></p></blockquote><p>— Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth</p><p>Frantz Fanon’s dynamic and revolutionary thinking, always centered on creation, movement and becoming, remains utterly prophetic, vivid, inspiring, analytically sharp and morally committed to disalienation and emancipation from all forms of oppression. Fanon strongly and compellingly argued for a path to a future where humanity “advances a step further” and breaks away from the world of colonialism and the mold of European “universalism”. He represented the maturing of the anti-colonial consciousness and was a decolonial thinker par excellence. As a true embodiment of&nbsp;<em>l’intellectuel engagé</em>, he transformed the debates on race, colonialism, imperialism, otherness, and what it means for one human being to oppress another.</p><p>Despite his short life (he died from leukemia at the age of 36), Fanon’s thought is very rich and his work prolific, ranging from books and scientific papers to journalism and speeches. He wrote his first book,&nbsp;<a class="" href="https://monoskop.org/images/a/a5/Fanon_Frantz_Black_Skin_White_Masks_1986.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Black Skin, White Masks</em> </a>, two years before the battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam (1954), and his last book, the famous&nbsp;<a class="" href="https://abahlali.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Frantz-Fanon-The-Wretched-of-the-Earth-1965.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Wretched of the Earth</em> </a>, a canonical work about the anti-colonialist and Third Worldist struggle, one year before Algerian independence (1962), during the period of African decolonization.&nbsp;<a class="" href="https://www.editionsladecouverte.fr/figures_de_la_revolution_africaine-9782355220371" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In his trajectory and across his work we can see interactions between </a>&nbsp;Black America and Africa, between the intellectual and the militant, between thought/theory and action/practice, between idealism and pragmatism, between individual analysis and collective movements, between the psychological life (he trained as a psychiatrist) and the physical struggle, between nationalism and Pan-Africanism, and finally between questions of colonialism and questions of neocolonialism.</p><p>It is neither a surprise nor a coincidence that we are witnessing a renewed interest in Fanon and his ideas since the October 7 Hamas attacks on the Zionist entity and occupying settler colony of Israel and the ensuing genocide against the Palestinians. Without any doubt, his analysis and thinking remain highly relevant and enlightening, due to the endurance of coloniality (which he analyzed) in its myriad forms, from settler colonialism in Palestine to neocolonialism in various parts of the global South. However, some of this renewed interest—particularly in relation to the situation in Palestine—succumbs to simplistic critiques and erroneous and insidious readings of his work that tend to distort it and to disconnect it from his anti-colonial and revolutionary praxis, as well as from his unwavering commitment to the liberation of the “wretched of the earth.” These supposedly “critical” endeavors cannot be dissociated from the broader attacks on Palestinians’ right to resist colonialism using any means necessary and the disdainful attitude toward people who show uncompromising solidarity with their resistance and liberation struggle. In some cases, the whole enterprise amounts to racism masquerading as intellectual discourse.</p><p>This is not new: there exist many reductive interpretations of Fanon, interpretations that eliminate either the historical/political dimension or the philosophical/psychological dimension of his work, depending on the social imperatives of the moment. Fanon was a political thinker, a revolutionary militant, and a psychiatrist, and all of these aspects of his life formed a coherent unity: dialectical, complementary, and enriching each other. After all, his was a project of combating alienation in all its forms: social, cultural, political and psychological. Fanon lived the life of a revolutionary, an ambassador, and a journalist, but it is impossible to separate these many lives from his scientific and clinical practice. Similarly, his expressions and articulations were not only those of a psychiatric doctor, but also those of a philosopher, a psychologist and a sociologist. Fanon was a pioneer precisely because he combined a commitment to social transformation with a commitment to the psychological liberation of individuals. His essential aim was to think about, and construct freedom as disalienation, taking place within a necessarily historical and political process.</p><p><strong><strong>Fanon, the revolutionary psychiatrist</strong></strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>Science depoliticized, science in the service of man, is often non-existent in the colonies.</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong>— Frantz Fanon,&nbsp;<em>A Dying Colonialism</em></strong></p><p>Arriving at Blida-Joinville Psychiatric Hospital in Algeria in 1953, Fanon realized quickly that colonization, in its essence, was a major producer of madness, hence the need for psychiatric hospitals in colonized countries. He enthusiastically undertook to revolutionize mainstream psychiatric practice, in accordance with the “desalienist” teaching of the Saint-Alban asylum and Professor Tosquelles. He saw how colonial psychiatry naturalized mental disorders that were determined by social and cultural factors. Scientific reductionism flourished in the colonies, in particular under the authority of Antoine Porot and his influential “Algiers school.” Fanon presented an incisive critique of colonial ethno-psychiatry by exposing its crude racism and justification of colonial oppression. He argued that colonialist psychiatry as a whole had to be desalienated.</p><p><a class="" href="https://baixacultura.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/frantz-fanon-alienation-and-freedom.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As Jean Khalfa and Robert J.C. Young have advanced, </a>&nbsp;Fanon’s political activity was anchored in an astonishingly lucid epistemology and in innovative scientific work and clinical practice. His scientific articles formed a critique of the biologism of colonial ethno-psychiatry and enabled him to reassess culture in its relation both to the body and to history. This is clear in his famous talk on national culture, which he delivered at the Second Congress of Black Artists and Writers in Rome in 1959.</p><p>During this period, Fanon experimented with approaches that would make him one of the pioneers of modern ethno-psychiatry. He ultimately distanced himself from institutional therapy after reaching the firm conviction that therapy should, above all, restore freedom to patients and should be carried out within the patient’s normal cultural and social environment. He argued that established psychiatry and mental health institutions “amputated, punished … rejected, excluded, and isolated” patients.</p><p>Fanon’s project was to make accessible to patients the creative, cultural, and manual activities that might enable them to become human beings again, with personal aspirations. He wanted his patients to take control of their own lives and to express themselves. With this goal in mind, at Blida-Joinville hospital Fanon established basketwork and pottery workshops, celebrated religious feasts (both Muslim and Christian), organized a film club, sports events and excursions, and, perhaps most important of all, founded a small weekly publication called&nbsp;<em>Notre Journal</em>, launched in December 1953, which recorded the evolution and progress in treating the hospital’s patients.</p><p>During his final years, which were spent in Tunis, on top of his political activities he devoted considerable energy to setting up and running a psychiatric day center, which he headed from 1957 to 1959 and which was one of the first open psychiatric clinics in the Francophone world. Day hospitalization is today so common a component of psychiatric care in industrialized countries that it is difficult to sufficiently appreciate the significance of adopting this approach in Tunis during the 1950s.</p><p><strong><strong>Fanon, violence and the Manichean psychology of oppression</strong></strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>Colonialism only loosens its hold when the knife is at its throat.</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong>— Frantz Fanon,&nbsp;<em>The Wretched of the Earth</em></strong></p><p>We can’t talk about Fanon without grappling with his analysis of violence and the psychology of oppression, especially during the present era of destruction and death. What would Fanon say about the colonial genocide and “avalanche of murders” currently taking place in Gaza and other places? What would he say about the traumatic and tormenting effects on Palestinian children, women, and men? How would he analyze the ongoing violence and counter-violence?</p><p>In his work, Fanon describes thoroughly the mechanisms of violence put in place by colonialism to subjugate oppressed people. He writes: “Colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties. It is violence in its natural state.” According to him, the colonial world is a Manichean world, which proceeds toward its logical conclusion: it “dehumanizes the native, or to speak plainly it turns him into an animal.” For Fanon, colonization is a systematic negation of the other and a frantic refusal to attribute any aspect of humanity to that other. In contrast to other forms of domination, colonial violence is total, diffuse, permanent, and global. Treating both torturers and victims, Fanon couldn’t escape this total violence, whose structural, institutional, and personal dimensions he boldly analyzed. In 1956 this led him to resign from his position as Chef de Service at Blida-Joinville Hospital and to join the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN).</p><p>Life and work in colonial Algeria, as well as the ruthless way the Algerian War was conducted, with its violence and counter-violence and immense human loss, led Fanon to reformulate his ideas about oppression and mental health and to make the question of violence the focus of his interest and of the first chapter of his final classic work,&nbsp;<em>The Wretched of the Earth</em>. In this book, he describes the Manichean psychology that underlies human oppression and violence.</p><p><a class="" href="https://archive.org/details/frantzfanonpsych0000bulh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan has argued, </a>&nbsp;Fanon’s observations in Algeria and elsewhere underscore the fact that colonialism, like the men who run that violent machine, is impervious to appeals to reason and stubbornly refuses to acknowledge the humanity of the other, thereby engendering untold violence. Fanon not only demonstrates the ugly manifestations of violence, but he also explains its liberating role in situations in which all other means have failed. The colonizer depends on and understands only violence, and he has to be met with greater violence: “Violence alone, violence committed by the people, violence organized and educated by its leaders, makes it possible for the masses to understand social truths and gives the key to them.” During Algeria’s struggle for independence, it became clear to Fanon and the Algerian people that when all peaceful measures failed there remained only one recourse: to fight. Palestinians today are doing just that, with formidable courage and heroism but at an incredibly high cost.</p><p>Fanon has been unfairly and wrongly accused of being the prophet of violence. In fact, what he does is describe and analyze the violence of the colonial system. Far from making an apology for violence, he judges it unavoidable as a response to the violence of colonization, of domination, of man’s exploitation of man.</p><p><a class="" href="https://monoskop.org/images/0/05/Fanon_Frantz_Toward_the_African_Revolution_1967.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fanon’s letter of resignation from Blida-Joinville Hospital </a>&nbsp;is a moving and principled document of a kind that is rare in psychological literature. It shows the integrity and courage of the man and summarizes the revolutionary and humanistic thrust of his psychiatry. In it he writes: “The Arab, alienated permanently in his country, lives in a state of absolute depersonalization.” He adds that the Algerian War was “a logical consequence of an abortive attempt to decerebralise a people.”</p><p>Throughout his professional work and militant writings, Fanon challenged the dominant culturalist and racist approaches to, and discourses on, the natives, such as what he called the “North African syndrome,” according to which “The North African is a simulator, a liar, a malingerer, a sluggard, a thief…” And he advanced a materialist explanation, situating symptoms, behaviors, self-hatred and inferiority complexes within the life of oppression and the reality of unequal colonial relations. He explained that the solution to these issues was to radically change social structures.</p><p><strong><strong>Fanon and the psychology of liberation</strong></strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>I, the man of color, want only this: That the tool never possesses the man. That the enslavement of man by man cease forever.</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong>—Frantz Fanon,&nbsp;<em>Black Skin, White Masks</em></strong></p><p>Fanon understood that psychiatry must be political. His efforts to place madness in its socio-historical and cultural perspective and to restore integrity to the native’s body and mind were consistent with the larger project of instituting political and social justice. He therefore championed a psychiatry of liberation.</p><p>The Algerian war of liberation was clearly a turning point for Fanon’s work as a psychiatrist. The physical loss and psychic dislocation caused by the war cemented Fanon’s conviction that establishment psychiatry and mental institutions in oppressive societies are places of violence, not of healing, and led him to merge his radical psychiatry with the strongest and most practical critique of domination possible, namely the popular struggle for liberation.</p><p>Fanon’s active commitment to social liberation also entailed a commitment to psychological liberation. It was indeed his ability to connect psychiatry to politics and private troubles to social problems, and to act accordingly that made him a pioneer of radical psychiatry. What he saw in the FLN health centers, with all of the accumulated anguish of dislocated Algerian refugees, convinced him that the centrality of liberation and freedom to psychiatric patients and to the colonized are two sides of the same coin. This was Fanon’s psychiatry until his death: a noble project of restoring liberty to captives of colonialism and of the psychiatric establishment, and a full commitment to living beings and to any action/clinical practice, writing, and revolutionary violence that could rehabilitate the integrity of people and of basic human values.</p><p>Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan has summarized Fanon’s approach to psychiatry eloquently:</p><p>a psychology tailored to the needs of the oppressed would give primacy to the attainment of ‘collective liberty’” and, since such liberty is attained only by collectives, would emphasize how best to further the consciousness and organized action of the collective.</p><p>Therefore, human interdependence and cooperation, rather than individualism and commodification must be at the heart of the psychology of liberation, which should be about empowering people to change institutions and radically transform social structures, rather than adjusting and submitting to the status quo while making a profit.</p><p>According to Fanon, in situations of oppression, we must treat root causes and not only symptoms; we must prevent diseases, not only treat them; we must empower victims to solve their problems, rather than keeping them dependent and powerless; and we must foster collective action, not a self-defeating individualization of difficulties. Herein lies one of Fanon’s most important contributions. A psychology of liberation of the kind advanced by Fanon gives primacy to the empowerment of the oppressed through organized and socialized activity, to restore individual and collective histories that have been derailed and stunted by oppression and colonialism. Whether by peaceful or violent means, it is only through organized struggle that the oppressed can change themselves and overcome the predicaments they face.</p><p><em><strong>Hamza Hamouchene is a London-based Algerian researcher and activist.

Hopeful Humanizer<p>I've just concluded reading "The Wretched of the Earth". The violence described in the book is unsettling as is the most recent violence in 2023 because it disturbs our (my) sense of “white stability” (Bayo Akomolafe), that false sense of peace that the world’ bourgeoise crave, as if nothing bad happens to those who are “The Wretched of the Earth.” That false sense of peace is maintained by the bias of the media and by our willful ignorance of what is happening in a historical context. <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TheWretchedOfTheEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWretchedOfTheEarth</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Fanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fanon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/frantz_fanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frantz_fanon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bourgeoise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bourgeoise</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestinians</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apartheid</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peace</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/oppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oppression</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nakba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nakba</span></a></p>
