The revolution transformed customs, language, and master-slave relations

Evidence

After having sealed the Malagasy into his own customs, after having evolved a unilateral analysis of his view of the world, after having described the Malagasy within a closed circle, after having noted that the Malagasy has a dependency relation toward his ancestors–a strong tribal characteristic–M. Mannoni, in defiance of all objectivity, applies his conclusions to a bilateral totality–deliberately ignoring the fact that, since Galliéni, the Malagasy has ceased to exist. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 346 (#expands, via linked claim)

The reactions and the behavior patterns to which the arrival of the European in Madagascar gave rise were not tacked on to a pre-existing set. There was no addition to the earlier psychic whole. If, for instance, Martians undertook to colonize the earth men—not to initiate them into Martian culture but to colonize them—we should be doubtful of the persistence of any earth personality. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 347 (#expands, via linked claim)
