  Presentation title 5 •The text consisting five chapter. • The Wretched of the Earth concludes with one of Fanon’s most provocative and exciting pieces • In Chapter 1, “On Violence,” Fanon introduces the colonial world as one that is divided into the colonist and the colonized. These identities are created by the colonist in order to assert his own superiority. • in Chapter 2, the colonized may form a number of political organizations. The colonized elites in urban areas—intellectuals and owners of businesses—may form political parties, but these tend to ignore the needs and desires of the colonized. • In Chapter 3, Fanon discusses how these different groups—the urban elite, urban workers, and rural fighters—get together to form a nation after independence from the colonists. • Chapter 4 is about national “culture,” and how intellectuals relate to culture under colonialism and while fighting colonialism. Fanon tracks a trajectory among intellectuals, who move from wanting to mimic European culture, to claiming the superiority of African culture, to, finally, contributing to the national fight against colonization. For Fanon, culture must be a part of the fight for nationalism. • In Chapter 5, Fanon draws upon his research as a psychiatrist in Algeria in the 1950s to describe the psychological disorders colonialism produces in both the colonist and the colonized.

  Presentation title 6 Whatis decolonization? • According to Cambridge dictionary the process in which a country that was previously a colony controlled by other country) becomes politically independent; the process of getting rid of colonies. According to Tuck and Yang, a common move of settler innocence occurs when people rely too heavily on the notion to ‘decolonize your mind,’ thinking, or knowledge. This can include efforts to read more Black, Brown, and Indigenous writers, for example. Decolonial curriculum and thinking can, indeed, be a substantial part of the movement. It is a powerful tool for deconstructing colonial influences on knowledge and education. Memmi refers to them as "descriptive portraits" and they are vivid, easily recognizable and seductive ideal types. His arguments are stated boldly and his authorial voice is free from idling apprehension.

  Violence in TheWretched of The Earth Presentation title 7  On Violence was written as a critical reflection on the 1968 student riots in Europe and the US and it is in this context that Arendt takes issue with Fanon, Jean-Paul Sartre and George Sorel, as leading thinkers who, Arendt suggests, defend violence for its own sake.  Fanon’s outlines both the potentialities and negative aspects of violence  His most famous and controversial remarks are those around the cathartic and self- Actualizing affect that violence can have on a colonial subject.  As fanon use example of Algerian in that he notes that decolonization is the meeting of two forces, opposed to each other by their very nature…[t]heir first encounter was marked by violence and their existence together – that is to say the exploitation of the native by the settler – was carried on by dint of a great array of bayonets and cannons.  In the preface to Wretched of the Earth, Sartre usefully Summarizes Fanon’s analysis of violence and situates it within medicalized discourse by stating that ‘The native cures himself of colonial neurosis by thrusting out the settler through force of arms’ To explain this, Fanon draws upon examples from his psychiatric practice.

  Presentation title 12 Violencein Black Lives Matter Movement  In the one Article of research Gate by Achir Saxena who was from Ambedkar University Delhi these observations are done by him.  Black lives matter movement is a part of Decolonization  Black Lives Matter is a community based movement that advanced as a consequence of a Facebook post made by an activist from Oakland.  Black Lives Matter means numerous things to numerous individuals, yet its voice has been most resoundingly heard in situations where the revitalizing cry is the subject of the utilization of ridiculous destructive compel against an unarmed Black individual by a cop.  From the above research we came to conclusion that not only the black lives matter but the lives of indigenous people also matter because both are interlinked with each other, both faced oppression and discrimination from the colonizers.

  Edward said: thepostcolonial theory and the literature of decolonization Presentation title 13 • As Lutfi Hamadi, PhD Lebanese International University, Lebanon noted about this theory • This theory is mainly based on what Said considers the false image of the Orient fabricated by Western thinkers as the primitive "other" in contrast with the civilized West. • He believes that the consequences of colonialism are still persisting in the form of chaos, coups, corruption, civil wars, and bloodshed, which permeates many ex- colonies. The powerful colonizer has imposed a language and a culture, whereas those of the Oriental peoples have been ignored.

  Conclusion Presentation title 14 •So to sum up it can be said that decolonization is not only matter of big colony like America, United Kingdom but it is also seen in india as well as there is also movement for decolonization. • It is, therefore, noted that decolonization is a political procedure that involves violence and conflicts. In most cases, negotiations fail to solve the problem of colonization because of the intricacies involved. In this case, the colonized resort to violence may take the form of a revolution.
