Famous quotes containing the word fanon:

    There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
    —Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

    Collective guilt is borne by what is conventionally called the scapegoat. Now the scapegoat for white society—which is based on myths of progress, civilization, liberalism, education, enlightenment, refinement—will be precisely the force that opposes the expansion and the triumph of these myths. This brutal opposing force is supplied by the Negro.
    —Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

    However painful it may be for me to accept this conclusion, I am obliged to state it: for the black man there is only one destiny. And it is white.
    —Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
