文档介绍：Colonialism and Neocolonialism
First published in French in 1964, Colonialism and Neocolonialism is a classic critique of
French policies in Algeria in the 1950s and 1960s and inspired much subsequent writing
on colonialism, post-colonialism, politics and literature. It had an important impact on the
conduct of the Algerian war itself, and the break-up of the French colonial empire cannot
be understood without reference to this key text. Sartre highlights key issues in the
political debate at a time when colonial empires were crumbling. He analyses the
discourses of colonialism and argues for the necessity of decolonization.
Colonialism and Neocolonialism is also famous for its controversial call for the use of
violence in achieving political ends. It includes Sartre’s celebrated preface to Fanon’s
classic The Wretched of the Earth. Colonialism and Neocolonialism has had a profound
impact on French intellectual life, inspiring many other infuential French thinkers and
critics of colonialism, such as Albert Memmi, François Lyotard and Frantz Fanon.
