Some people (lol me) benefit from more structured discussions!
Let’s use this post to share questions as top level comments. I’m going to re-post some of the questions I had from this post and also from the lists of more generic book club questions found in this post. Anyone who has read/listened to the chapter should feel welcome to respond to any question. You don’t need to be an expert or to “know” the answer. Use this space to work out your own thoughts. This is valuable to your comrades!
Please feel free to post your own, and don’t be shy! We are here to learn and discuss. It’s okay to not get it all and you can’t learn if you don’t ask 💖
I didn’t really understand the last few pages of the chapter. Colonized people are owed what was stolen from them. This I understand. But I am not understanding how
Am I not understanding this simply because it did not happen? What did happen instead?
I also understand that the third world did not form autocracies, which Fanon described as another threat.
I don’t understand what threat existed that investment and technical aid to former colonies could save the world?
