Fanon reviews Dominique Mannonis book, Prospero and Caliban: The Psychology of Colonization. He begins by approving of the purpose of Mannonis work, that the problem of colonialism includes not only the interrelations of objective historical conditions but also human attitudes toward these conditions (84). He ultimately, however, objects to Mannonis supposition that the seed of the inferiority complex predates colonization. Specifically, Fanon criticizes Mannonis assertion that racism isnt a reflection of economic factors by reminding us that economic exclusion results from [ . . . ]the fear of competition and the desire both to protect the poor-white class that forms half the European population and to prevent it from sinking any lower (88). Mannonis belief that colonial racism is different than other kinds of racism Fanon dismisses as utterly naive: All forms of exploitation are identical because all of them are applied against the same object: man (88). He next turns to Mannonis statement that a minority can only have experiences of dependency or inferiority toward the majority (92-93). Fanon spends the remainder of the chapter disproving this claim by engaging with various aspects of Mannonis argument. He concludes that Mannonis lacks foundation for his claims
