A review by edelstein
The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

Perhaps I was in over my head, but the text did not feel as if the argument was making a point at all. Yes, colonialism is inherently violent, but why does one have to take such a roundabout way to make a statement? To take so long on describing the occult of a clan, the nature of it and what it serves, then loosely connecting it to why the natives become violent? The writing style did not lend itself to conciseness, instead meandering to various methods of control used by settlers without connecting them to anything.
