 In the end, it remains unclear how well Fanon understood the diversity of sub-Saharan Africa and its difference from North Africa, where he spent most of his time on the continent and to which his reflections are largely dedicated. The occasional pieces leading up to The Wretched of the Earth raise interesting questions and show how Fanon was dedicated to building lines of solidarity and shared struggle. African unity was paramount in Fanon’s work on the continent, and he boldly extends the Algerian experience to the central and southern regions of Africa. At the same time, and this becomes particularly clear when he reflects on black Africa’s memory of the slave trade, Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth calls for a suppression of memory and historical difference in the name of broader solidarity among the continent’s oppressed peoples. This has the strength of forging a vision of a future de-linked from the past—a project consistent with the revolutionary conclusion to Black Skin, White Masks—and yet seems largely unaware of or unconcerned with the consequences of forgetting the historical experiences of large swaths of sub-Saharan Africa. As well, the difference between settler colonies and those administered from a distance fades a bit when Fanon travels his reflections to black Africa, a difference that has received a more nuanced treatment in postcolonial theory since Fanon.
