Frantz Fanon: Conclusion, Critique of "The Wretched of the Earth"

I think Frantz Fanon is a very thoughtful and intelligent writer whose book, "The Wretched of the Earth", is not an easy work to critique without first admiring it. Throughout this book he applies detailed thoughtful analysis of the political struggles of decolonization. He describes in depth the division within colonized states and against colonial powers. He also discusses national identity and culture, nationalist government, and how the effects of colonialism shape the present and future of these states. In his conclusion, he builds on his previous chapters with a call to forge a new identity, separate from European influence. He talks about Europe's accomplishments and the tragedy of that same "progress". Fanon calls for a the Third World to "start over a new history of man which takes into account not only occasional prodigious theses maintained by Europe but also its crimes". (p. 238)
I think however that, in following this pattern, you are still being shaped by Europe. Perhaps he would even agree with this: that if you use a European example of what not to do, you are still in that paradigm. I think that since the peoples of Europe, Asia, and Africa have been influencing each other for generations before colonialism, it would be a mistake to not think that an identity completely separate from each other would be impossible. I also question those that think that there is no natural human state (as would someone like Foucault). If there are many natural human characteristics and behaviors, then whether in African or Europe or South America societies would have many strong similarities because their people are essentially similar.
