Excerpt:
Frantz Fanon, in Black Skin, White Masks, extols the power of language rather than political activism to solve what he terms the "color problem," suggesting that this problem exists primarily in language itself: "From all sides dozens and hundreds of pages assail me and try to impose their wills on me. But a single line would be enough. Supply a single answer and the color problem would be stripped of all its importance."(13) Fanon implies in this passage that if language is transformed - if the answer to this "problem" is found - the issue of race will simply disappear. This assumption is based on Fanon's naive trust in the Freudian psychoanalytic method.
