Abstract

The article interprets
Fanon’s thought through the
framework of hatred and enemy
formation and tracks the origins of
his anticolonialism. Fanon depicted
and presented the colonial enemy
in harsh terms, but colonialism
can hardly be described as an
“invented” enemy. Moreover, the
Fanonian concept of the enemy was
politico-moral, not biological. With
his powerful rhetoric, Fanon sought
to mobilize Algerians and potential
anticolonialists worldwide.
