Colonial formation produces a diasporic outsider subjectivity within the imperial metropole

Evidence

What are the terms of this problem? Jean Veneuse is a Negro. Born in the Antilles, he has lived in Bordeaux for years; so he is a European. But he is black; so he is a Negro. There is the conflict. He does not understand his own race, and the whites do not understand him. And, he observes, “The Europeans in general and the French in particular, not satisfied with simply ignoring the Negro of the colonies, repudiate the one whom they have shaped into their own image.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 232 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
