Frantz Fanon and Racial Identity in Post - Colonial Contexts_2
Thinking post - colonial identity
Identity = social meanings & structural conditions
Identity = shifting/ change
Identity conditioned by power

Identity is influenced by the world around it
The world around the identity can change
Black skin - white masks
Racial alienation
Relationship between internal world of person and external world with constraints
Estrangement
Person can be estranged from their humanness, self, belonging to their people
All caused by race
The pathology of the colonial context
Racial contact = dominance by one group
Dominant through physical, cultural and economical terms
Racial contact = dominance = potential for psychopathology
Cultural dispossession: Alienation through language
Adopting language of oppressor = alienation
Improve in white culture but lose black culture
Dispossessed identities
Coloniser eradicates colonised's culture
Follows terms that devaluates colonised
Result = deeply rooted sense of inferiority
Lactification
Lessening of blackness to achieve whiteness
Desire is forced upon black subjects by white subjects
Abandon selves to achieve white acceptance
Double consciousness
Black identity = double consciousness
Colonised succeeds in colonisers culture
Colonised = distnaced from home culture
Disharmony between two sides
Synchrony between culture, nation and family
Family follows nation = synchronised = positive picture
No synchronisation = destructs social structure = violence
Synchronisation for identity
Violence internalised
Fanon = oppressed = personal conflicts and turmoil
Opressed = conditions for the destruction of racism
The identity dynamics of racism
Blackness essesntialised
Blackness = essential and determining quality of identity
Not the meaning the person makes for himself but the pre - existing one that leaves impression
Blackness functions as a fixed essence in speech and appearance
Qualifying, categorising, problematising the racial subject
Racist thinking defines individuals based on race, associations, values etc of that race
Prejudicial terms = idealise dominant class while problimitising dominated class
Black/ gay etc = understood through terms of categorical groupings
How Whiteness defines Blackness
Superiority of Whiteness requires the systemic devaluation of Blacks
Neagtive Black & Positive white = binary logic
Blackness is based on not being White
Identity development in oppressive contexts
Stages of marginal identity
Stage 1 = capitulation = identify with aggressor
Stage 2 = revitalisation = reacts towards powerful dominance (flight)
Enter text here
Stage 3 = radicalisation = committed to radical social change (fight)
The dynamics of cultural 'in - betweenity'
The grey area where all 3 stages of marginal identity overlap
When overlap = influence on each other = change
Critiques of Fanon
Sexism: black woman and white man & black man and white woman
Representing colonial relationship as one of complete dominance and control
Essentialist & static categories
