Africa is divided into black and white (north of / south of the Sahara). White Africa is said to have a thousand-year-old tradition of culture... that she is Mediterranean, that she is a continuation of Europe and that she shares in Graeco-Latin civilization. Black Africa is looked on as a region that is inert, brutal, uncivilized in a word, savage.

Colonialism is an institution which is not a thinking machine nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties. It is violence in its natural state, and will only yield when confronted with greater violence. Only 'absolute violence' which didn't distinguish civilians could get the colonizers' attention.

Colonialism hardly ever exploits the whole of a country, but only the natural resources, which it extracts, and exports to meet the needs of the mother country's industries, leaving the rest of the colony to follow its path of under-development and poverty.

Colonialism is th e production of the envious man. The gaze that the colonized subject casts at the colonist's sector is a look of lust, a look of envy. Dreams of possession. Every type of possession... of sitting at the colonist's table and sleeping in his bed, preferably with his wife.

Colonialism is violence in its natural state and will only yield when confronted with greater violence. Only 'absolute violence' which didn't distinguish civilians could get the colonizers' attention, expelling the colonizer and decolonizing the native mentality.

Colonization is the creation of an inferiority complex in the soul of the colonized by the death and burial of its local cultural originality. One is elevated above his jungle status in proportion to one's adoption of the colonizer's country's cultural standards.
