Wretched of the Earth Chapters 3 & 4

In chapters 3 and 4 of Frantz Fannon’s Wrtetched of the Earth, we are learning that the Bourgeois was in the midst of colonizing parts of Africa. Oppose to many other colonizations, although they had power and lots of money, they lacked a big deal of leadership. They soon came to the realization that money and authority does not equate to leadership. Because of this lack of leadership, it opened up opportunity for chaos and an unstructured ruling over the parts of Africa that they colonized. Although it could’ve just been talked about and they could’ve easily met the people of Africa half way, this enlarged the ethnic and religious differences of the nation. For crying out loud, they are already forcibly taking over their land, the least they could do is negotiate a solution, and however, that of course was not the case. With the Bourgeois knowing they had a lack of leadership, they decided to bring in a popular leader. They might’ve called him a leader but he was more of a dictator; therefore it was just getting worse and worse for the people of Africa. Fanon emphasizes that the Bourgeois did not at all care for the well-being of the people of Africa. They did not even have a good reliance of engineers and technicians. Fanon also brings up a good point, that when the caste is eliminated, it would be the perfect time for the people of this continent to move toward democracy.
