Doing my daily reading while exhausted probably not the best idea, but was able ot listen to half of the first chapter of Fanon's Wretched of the Earth.
Fascinating analysis of the relationship between colonized and settler that pulls no punches.

Reading Fanon's description of the successes of the Algieran Liberation Front and thinking of how he must have felt to see his country fall into dictatorship only a few years after he wrote it...

Thinking about how Fanon's description of underdeveloped country's governments framing everything in terms of war applies equaly to the US -- 'war on drugs' 'war on poverty' etc -- though for (I think) very different reasons.

I am increasingly glad I read Incarnations before Wretched of the Earth. Knowing about the concrete example of the Indian independence movement is helping so much in understanding Fanon's discussion of violence and negotiations.

Fanon's discussion of his psych patients is not as heavy as I was afraid it would be re: psychiatric trauma. And I think it's good he included these descriptions and acknowledges how traumatic the revolution is -- for everyone.

Read Fanon's discussion on the emergence of a national culture this morning. It's interesting, Fanon being one of the intellectuals whose flaws he is addressing, but I suppose that means he saw everything he described and how it failed first hand.
