Antillean action seeks the Other’s corroboration rather than genuine communication

Evidence

Everything that an Antillean does is done for The Other. Not because The Other is the ultimate objective of his action in the sense of communication between people that Adler describes, but, more primitively, because it is The Other who corroborates him in his search for self-validation. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 756
