The Struggle for Liberation of Frantz Fanon’s: An Example of Africa
Historically, colonialism effected the cultural character of undeveloped nations such as India, African countries, etc. The notion "national culture" is both a central organizing category in the shaping of politic, economic and cultural production, and so colonialism remade some parts of the world by the power of domination. For this reason, Frantz Fanon’s work was a milestone in African history because he was the first spark of the struggle for the liberation of their citizens from colonialist goals and movements in African lands such as Gandhi in India or Sukarno in The Netherlands.
