description The text that we are going to read is intended as proof of life for Frantz Fanon and proof of death for a certain world that has not yet questioned its guilt in the making of colonialism. His purpose is rooted in the Wretched of the Earth and would like to pick up the javelins that Frantz Fanon threw at the end of his life to throw them back as far as possible. His hope would be that the past of colonialism would finally pass because he tried to look at it in its disturbing actuality, and, as a result, he hopes that the present of new colonizations would be ashamed and want to disappear under its degradation. He also did not fail to scrutinize it in what it was to understand its metamorphoses, and what he saw was the monopolization of the Possibles for a few insofar as this spoliation of the possibilities of existing leads for so many others to fall into the Impossibles. But it is not a question of cold-blooded revenge. It is a question of rethinking, with Frantz Fanon, the broader performances of the revolt and the prospects for implementing a pan-Africanism that would make Africa the privileged interlocutor of a project of perpetual peace for the world.
