Abstract

This study aims to present Frantz Fanon’s propositions concerning the consequences of
colonialism on the psychic and cultural formation of the colonized individual. The study also aims to articulate these consequences to the specific condition of women. It will import the legacy left by colonialism in the lives of these women and the colonial impact on the societies in which these women live. In addition, it is necessary to think about the projects of cultural decolonization. The main works of Fanon will be used for this study: Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and The Wretched of the Earth (1961). Although both works do not discuss the issue of women in depth, the works offer analysis mechanisms that make it possible to understand the intersection of oppression and allow a better apprehension of sociocultural problems in the context of decolonization.
