Resistance itself transforms the colonized subject so that colonial rule becomes unmaintainable

Evidence

The same time that the colonized man braces himself to reject oppression, a radical transformation takes place within him which makes any attempt to maintain the colonial system impossible and shocking. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 617 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

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)
