Abstract

This paper argues that Fanon puts forward the importance of a strategic approach to winning the goals of national independence from colonialism as part of the wider fight for a different social and economic system. In The wretched of the earth Fanon supports a strategic focus along similar lines to Lenin. The interpretation of the national bourgeoisie and the native working class within the colony put forward by Fanon is directly influenced by his readings of Lenin. Alongside his diverse lessons and influences, this paper will argue that Fanon’s ‘Leninist’ moment should be acknowledged.
