The white patient’s unconscious imagined black men burning a white man in savage ritual.

Evidence

I suggested to her that an angel would go with her to the tom-tom: She wanted to go all alone. But someone was coming down from the sky. It was an angel. He was smiling; he took her close to the tom-tom. There were only black men there, and they were dancing round a large fire and looked evil. The angel asked her what they were going to do; she said they were going to burn a white man. She looked for him everywhere. She could not see him. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 733

Categorization

• XREF: The case shows a white woman’s internalization of the Negro myth as threat—a mirror to the black colonial subject’s internalized self-hatred the reader is analyzing.
• QUESTION: Fanon’s interpretation of white guilt in this dream invites comparison with the black subject’s own fantasy structure—worth tracing.
