Other Theorists: Frantz Fanon 

Frantz Fanon is well known for his works on the psychological and social effects of colonialism and racism. Here are some of the key ideas he put forward:

1. Colonisation leads to dehumanisation: Fanon argued that colonization was a process that not only exploited the resources of the colonized country but also dehumanised the colonized people. Colonizers treated colonized individuals as less than human, and this led to psychological damage.

2. Violence is a necessary means of decolonisation: Fanon believed that violence was a necessary means of achieving decolonization. He argued that violence was the only way to shake off the psychological and social effects of colonialism.

3. The psychological effects of colonialism are damaging: Fanon highlighted the psychological effects of colonialism on the colonized people. He argued that the experience of colonisation damaged individuals' self-esteem and sense of identity, leading to a range of psychological problems.

4. Nationalism is a means of resisting colonisation: Fanon believed that nationalism was a means of resisting colonization. He saw nationalism as a positive force that could help individuals reclaim their sense of self and dignity.

5. Racism is a tool of colonisation: Fanon argued that racism was a tool of colonization. Racism was used to justify colonization and to maintain the colonized people's subjugation. Therefore, fighting against racism was an essential part of the decolonization struggle.
