Fanon The Wretched Of The Earth Summary

The critical reviews of the Fanon book, as well as the articles by Burke et al., Veilleux-Lepage, Nail, and Ataka; led me to the decision that global differences are leading towards a daunting and peace-less future. We must change our perceptions of Earth and its peoples’, as well as change our decisions for the future. I will start with Fanon, then critique the articles.
The Thesis for Fanon’s “The Wretched Of The Earth”, occurs to be that colonists dominate the colonized through force; that decolonization comes with violence. They run with the attitude that the poor want to take their spots in society. Though true, force only leads to more violence in the future by the colonized.
In the text, Fanon notes that the most important thing to

Another aspect that violence occurs is because colonizers feel the need to treat the colonized like servants. On Violence, the wealthy elite are obscured. They are often aggressive with their words and humanistic in their attitudes. I think Fanon approaches this nicely, as political leaders often lie about their ideas and goals; and often cover up a hidden plan that benefits them primarily. In underdeveloped countries, the citizens behave like they are starving, which leads to desperation and more violence. Without control of the citizens, their power can’t sustain.

The use of violence has been successful in some situations of history; at least temporarily. The reason that colonizers use violence as a way of control over the colonized is because they get a more decisive hand in determining the future of the territory. If a foreign power has

Burke argues that 10 options to help our planet succeed in the future. First, he argues if we can match the planet with our politics. 2nd, More focus on climate change, less on markets. 3rd, Diplomacy is failing, meaning that diplomacy will aid in some solutions, but will fail us long term as we need change in the current system. 4th, we co-exist in social nature. 5th, we must switch IR focus. 6th, Coal should be a controlled substance: Coal is the one of the largest threats to our economy, as well as our security. 7th, Legal frameworks need to incorporate enmeshment with other species and ecologies to better protect us all. 8th, Global ethics must respond to mass extinction. 9th, we must preserve earth and its beings, and 10th, Sustainably critical ‘due diligence’ for a worldly politics. Another issue that relates to the thesis is Terrorism, and Veilleux-Lepage explains the problems and
