Educated colonials suffer an intellectual alienation unlike laborers’ material exploitation.

Evidence

It is obvious–and I will never weary of repeating this –that the quest for disalienation by a doctor of medicine born in Guadeloupe can be understood only by recognizing motivations basically different from those of the Negro laborer building the port facilities in Abidjan. In the first case, the alienation is of an almost intellectual character. Insofar as he conceives of European culture as a means of stripping himself of his race, he becomes alienated. In the second case, it is a question of a victim of a system based on the exploitation of a given race by another, on the contempt in which a given branch of humanity is held by a form of civilization that pretends to superiority. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 818 (#expands, via linked claim)

To many colored intellectuals European culture has a quality of exteriority. What is more, in human relationships, the Negro may feel himself a stranger to the Western world. Not wanting to live the part of a poor relative, of an adopted son, of a bastard child, shall he feverishly seek to discover a Negro civilization? — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 869 (#expands, via linked claim)
