7/2/2023 0 Comments The wretched of the earth 1963![]() ![]() ![]() My main critique of Fanon’s writing is that he “stretches” his Marxist analysis, placing race, and not class at the center of the conflict between the colonizers and colonized. The neocolonial situation refers to the continued dominance of the developing nations by the developed nations, for imperialistic purposes. The concepts and techniques of social control, social order and social change are addressed in the context of Fanon’s writing, many of which are still relevant due to the neocolonial situation. ![]() This paper analyzes and critiques Fanon’s most famous works, The Wretched of the Earth (1963), and Black Skin, White Masks (1952), within a sociological framework. The work of Frantz Fanon is highly influential on the academic discipline of post-colonial studies, and during the time Fanon was writing, there were numerous decolonizing movements from nations that are now referred to as belonging to the “developing world”. ![]()
