Abstract
This work seeks to investigate the significance and relevance of Frantz Fanon’s colonial and postcolonial ideas about Africa in the era of contemporary globalization, based on Les damnés de la terre and Peau noire, masques blancs. It provides a brief overview of colonialism and globalization in an attempt to show the connection between the power structures of the two. It further discusses the present manifestations of Fanon’s thoughts on nationalism and the issue of representation. The main argument of this work is that there are similarities between Fanon’s theory of colonial Manichaeism that sustained oppression of the Other, and contemporary discriminatory practices in globalization processes. By way of conclusion this work suggests that Fanon’s thoughts about humanity as well as his call for a new way of thinking offers an opportunity for discussing ways of addressing today’s global inequalities.
