Fanon seems to be advocating violence, if necessary for the establishment of nationhood for a heretofore persecuted and discriminated people. The African peoples, their cultures grouped into one overarching “Negro” culture need to break out of that, combatively. But, what if they do not want to? Mama, in A Raisin in the Sun, on page 1470, expresses her direct disinterest in Africa. Also, it seems that sometimes people may not hold this true. Nationalism is important! That is something that many say has caused wars and violence. Wait, Fanon, seems to like being militant. But what if two different peoples, both looking to establish a nation for themselves with national identity, clash?
