Abstract

The present study sought to deconstruct, from the theses of Frantz Fanon, especially those formulated in "The Wretched of the Earth”, the idea of a supposed civilizing mission underlying the colonizing intention embodied in the equation "colonization equal to civilization and paganism equal to savagery”. Crossed the facts to the doctrines that focus on the phenomenon of colonisation of Africa, this was seen by Fanon, was more a movement of depersonalization of Africans in general, and the negroes, in particular than a draft of humanization and emancipation of the peoples of black Africa. Therefore became evident throughout this work, that the colonization was a violence that drew its originality of the colonized.

A violence that not only presided over the arrangement of the colonial world, as well as marked and fed the anthropological and ontological destruction of black African, including all its social forms; wiped out completely their systems of economic references, their modes "essendi et operandi" and decreed the socio-cultural crisis of the black people of Africa.
