Not rating this one, because it would be impossible. I read this as a recommendation to learn more about the French-Algeria conflict. It was more philosophical than factual, which is what I needed (but I've found another one for that.) but the philosophy was though provoking. Especially as I look at his theory of colonization and decolonization based on experiences of my own lifetime (the Balkans, Rwanda)

Recently, I was watching an episode of the super annoying Treme, and the scene was the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest. I said "I could never go to this and hang out with all these horrid NPR listeners." Then, I read this, in a book written in 1961, "And it is not unrealistic to think that in 50 years or so the type of jazz lament hiccuped by a poor, miserable "Negro" will be defended by only those whites believing in a frozen image of a certain type of relationship and a certain focus of negritude." Unbelievably prescient, Mr. Fanon. I wish you had lived longer.
