““The zone where the natives live is not complementary to the zone inhabited by the settlers. The two zones are opposed, but not in the service of a higher unity. Obedient to the rules of pure Aristotelian logic, they both follow the principle of reciprocal exclusivity…The colonized man will first manifest this aggressiveness which has been deposited in his bones against his own people.
–Franz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth (1963)
