What is fanon?

Famous quotes containing the word fanon:

    What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.
    —Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

    There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
    —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)
