The Negress feels inferior and seeks whiteness by internalizing prohibited assets.
Evidence
Whether one is dealing with Mayotte Capécia of Martinique or with Nini of Saint-Louis, the same process is to be observed. A bilateral process, an attempt to acquire-by internalizing them–assets that were originally prohibited. It is because the Negress feels inferior that she aspires to win admittance into the white world. In this endeavor she will seek the help of a phenomenon that we shall call affective erethism. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 213 (
