Frantz Fanon fue un revolucionario, psiquiatra, filósofo y escritor caribeño de origen martiniqués cuya obra fue de gran influencia en los movimientos y pensadores revolucionarios de los años 1960 y 1970. A finales del siglo XX, principalmente a partir de los estudios de Edward Said, su pensamiento volvió a cobrar vigencia en los campos de los estudios poscoloniales, la teoría crítica y el marxismo. Fanon es conocido como un pensador humanista existencial radical[1]​ en la cuestión de la descolonización y la psicopatología de la colonización.[2]​

Fanon apoyó la lucha argelina por la independencia y fue miembro del Frente de Liberación Nacional argelino. Su vida y sus trabajos, principalmente Los condenados de la tierra han incitado e inspirado movimientos de liberación anticolonialistas durante más de cuatro décadas.[3]​ Wikipedia

Frases célebres de Frantz Fanon

“El mundo colonizado es un mundo cortado en dos. La linea divisoria, la frontera está indicada por los cuarteles y las delegaciones de policía. En las colonias, el interlocutor válido e insitucional del colonizado, el vocero del colono y del régimen de opresión es el gendarme o el soldado.(…) El intermediario del poder utiliza un lenguaje de pura violencia. (…) El intermediario lleva la violencia a la casa y al cerebro del colonizado.”

“Desde hace algún tiempo se habla mucho de torturas aplicadas por los soldados franceses a patriotas argelinos. Personalidades extranjeras, y entre ellas francesas, han condenado estas prácticas. No se puede al mismo tiempo querer el mantenimiento de la nación francesa en Argelia y condenar los métodos empleados en ella. La tortura en Argelia no es un accidente, o un error, o una falta. El colonialismo no se comprende sin la posibilidad de torturar, de violar o de matar. La tortura es una modalidad de las relaciones entre ocupantes y ocupados. Los policías franceses, que durante mucho tiempo han sido los únicos en practicar estas torturas, no lo ignoran.”

“Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.”

“The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.”

“The landing of the white man on Madagascar inflicted injury without measure. The consequences of that irruption of Europeans onto Madagascar were not psychological alone, since, as every authority has observed, there are inner relationships between consciousness and the social context.”

“I am black: I am the incarnation of a complete fusion with the world, an intuitive understanding of the earth, an abandonment of my ego in the heart of the cosmos, and no white man, no matter how intelligent he may be, can ever understand Louis Armstrong and the music of the Congo. If I am black, it is not the result of a curse, but it is because, having offered my skin, I have been anle to absorb all the cosmic efflucia.”

“Man is motion toward the world and toward his like. A movement of aggression, which leads to enslavement or to conquest; a movement of love, a gift of self, the ultimate stage of what by common accord is called ethical orientation. Every consciousness seems to have the capacity to demonstrate these two components, simultaneously or alternatively. The person I love will strengthen me by endorsing my assumption of my manhood, while the need to earn the admiration or the love of others will erect a value-making superstructure on my whole vision of the world.”

“A white man addressing a Negro behaves exactly like an adult with a child and starts smirking, whispering, patronizing, cozening. It is not one white man I have watched, but hundreds; and I have not limited my investigation to any one class but, if I may claim an essentially objective position, I have made a point of observing such behavior in physician, policemen, employers.”

“What is there to say? Purely and simply this: When a bachelor of philosophy from Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the ground of his color. I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. Wren one else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men, I say that intelligence has never saved anyone; and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.”

“At risk of arousing the resentment of my colored brothers, I will say that the black is not a man. There is a zone of nonbeing, an extraordinary sterile and arid region, an utterly naked declivity where an authentic upheaval can be born. In most cases, the black man lacks the advantage of being able to accomplish this descent into real hell.”
