Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to critically examine Frantz Fanon's conceptions of colonialism, violence, and emancipation, with a focus on their implications for contemporary post-colonial struggles, particularly within Africa. Fanon's writings, grounded in post-colonial theory and psychological analysis, portray colonialism as a dehumanizing system that entrenches oppression and alienation. In works such as The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon contends that violence is both an inevitable product of colonial domination and a necessary means of achieving liberation.
