The Wretched of the Earth discussion chapter one

hello comrades here we shall be discussing The Wretched of the earth preface and chapter one On Violence i was gonna write my own summry for yall but this summary and analysis i found would serve you all better than what I could write this morning, my sincere apoligies I wiil start us off with some optional question promts!

what did you think of satare's preface?

what does Fanon mean by "replacing one species with another"?

who is the colonized intellectual? what role does he serve?

what does Fanon say about nationalist reformist movements? what are their failings?

why must decolonization be total and all encompassing?

why is the allocation of instruments of force important? I also want to encourage everyone to try to make critique of the reading.

these are just a few things to get the ball rolling, please let me know what I can do better! Please keep commenting and contributing to this thread through out the week for those of you not caught up, this isnt school there is no late work, in fact i hope people come back to these threads many times to see other comrades thoughts. lastly it seems like you guys really like the summary and study guide I found so I will keep using it in future post (its pretty cool its like sparknotes)
