Inner psychological mutation, not independence, is what generates national sovereignty

Evidence

Initially subjective, the breaches made in colonialism are the result of a victory of the colonized over their old fear and over the atmosphere of despair distilled day after day by a colonialism that has incrusted itself with the prospect of enduring forever. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 178 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

The truth is that the study of an occupied people, militarily subject to an implacable domination, requires documentation and checking difficult to combine. It is not the soil that is occupied. It is not the ports or the airdromes. French colonialism has settled itself in the very center of the Algerian individual and has undertaken a sustained work of cleanup, of expulsion of self, of rationally pursued mutilation. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 222 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
