Discussion
When a nation casts off colonialism, it also casts off "the colonized man". What is the implication of Frantz Fanon ?
Answer: D
Fanon's implication is When we become free of oppression, we regain our humanity.
In The Wretched of the Earth (1961), Fanon argues that colonialism dehumanises the colonised, reducing them to objects. Decolonisation is therefore not only a political change but 'the veritable creation of new men': in freeing themselves, the colonised cast off the identity of 'the colonized man' and recover their full humanity.
Fanon actually warns against native intellectuals merely digging up fragments of a past culture, and he rejects exoticising one's own people. Isolationism is not what he draws from decolonisation.
