The aim of this project is two-fold: to discuss the limits of Frantz Fanon‟s postcolonial
theories, and to then present a possible model for turning “the „thing‟ colonized [into] a new man” (Wretched 2) by liberating “him” from Fanon‟s desire for inclusion. Or, to put this in other terms, this investigation seeks to highlight one of the most limiting factors in Fanonian postcolonial theory: Fanon‟s grounding in European humanism.
