Summary: | In 1952, an unknown Martinican physician named Frantz Fanon published a blunt critique of structural racism in the region of the former French Empire. His book, Black Skin, White Masks, besides being a pioneering outline, in psychiatric terms, of the alienation caused by racism, introduced a number of innovations such as interdisciplinarity and processualism that would later be adopted by the social sciences. But he also revealed a disappointment with the treatment he received in the metropolis and a dissatisfaction with the contestation movements of the time, concluding his work with more dilemmas than solutions. In the following years Fanon would become a world-respected anti-colonialist militant, as leader of the National Liberation Front of Algeria. Months before his death, he published The Wretched of the Earth, a harsh critique of political solutions in post-colonial Africa. However, at a time when the social movement was diversifying internationally and post-coloniality was lending more prominence to traditional cultures, he systematically disregarded those cultures, overestimating the role of revolutionary parties, which, victorious, ended up disappointing militant humanity by instituting a kind of neo-absolutism and creating new systems of exploitation and oppression. |

Seu livro, Pele negra, máscaras brancas, além de ter pela primeira vez traçado um diagnóstico psiquiátrico da alienação causada pelo racismo, introduziria uma série de inovações como a interdisciplinaridade e o processualismo, que seriam em seguida adotadas pelas ciências sociais. Mas também revelaria uma decepção sofrida com o tratamento que recebeu na metrópole e um descontentamento com os temas propostos pelos movimentos de contestação então existentes, concluindo sua obra com mais dilemas do que soluções. Nos anos seguintes, Fanon se tornaria um militante anticolonialista mundialmente respeitado, como dirigente da Frente Nacional de Libertação da Argélia. Publicaria então, meses antes do seu falecimento, Os condenados da terra, uma áspera crítica das soluções políticas estabelecidas na África pós-colonial. Porém, no momento em que o movimento social estava internacionalmente se diversificando e as culturas tradicionais ganhavam destaque na pós-colonialidade, ele promoveria uma depreciação sistemática daquelas culturas e uma superestimação do papel dos partidos revolucionários, os quais, vitoriosos, terminaram decepcionando a humanidade militante, ao instituir uma espécie de neoabsolutismo e criar novos sistemas de exploração e opressão.UFBA2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/4775010.9771/aa.v0i66.47750Afro-Ásia; No. 66 (2022); 352-390Afro-Ásia; n. 66 (2022); 352-3901981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/47750/28448Copyright (c) 2023 Renato da Silveirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilveira, Renato da2023-03-18T14:17:32Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/47750Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2023-03-18T14:17:32Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false |
