... Fanon’s claims being that “The colonialists are incapable of grasping the motivations of the colonized,” especially when sexuality is brought into the picture. ... A doctrine which is composed of a set of rules that prizes strength, health, and in essence brings up questions of the role of sexuality, in regards to power. ... The second thing this quote does is show the reader how the weak are almost ignored by these doctrines of power and those that follow them. ... That while he desired power, lust, and all the fruits of life; he forgot about the weak, the weak which was allowing him his metamorphism. ... Once again sexuality played a role in this story but not such a role that gives warrant to Fanon’s claim. ... First, It lets the reader know that Women, along with there sexuality, did play a big role in over coming those that wanted to oppress them. ... This oppression is relevant because not only was it an oppression of their educations but also one on there sexuality. A sexuality that the West wanted to know through there fantasies and at the same led to there downfall.
The works of Fanon and Pontecorvo can best be used to not only show the incapability of grasping the motivations of the colonized by the colonists, but also by showing how sexuality makes this picture much clearer. In both works the sexuality of the female section of Algiers is shown to be a very powerful weapon.
