Abstract
Frantz Fanon could be rightly considered as one of the major anti-colonial voices of Africathat sprang into vocal and physical action after the devastations of World War II. Fanon was a personage of formidable intellect mixed with a passion for political action on behalf of the decolonisation process in Africa. In this regard, Fanon stands on the same podium with the chief architects of anti-colonial action and discourse. That anti-colonial podium would include Cheikh Anta Diop, Kwame Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral, Patrice Lumumba and others. But Fanon would have a special place on that podium for his incisive and sharp analysis of the African colonial situation as opposition mounted against Europe’s colonial presence on the continent.
