NOTE

Colonization and Decolonization Dynamics

Decolonization is viewed by Bennon as a historical process marked by the encounter between colonizer and colonized within a dialectic framework. The colonizer exploits the colonized by dehumanizing them, justifying oppression and land theft. Decolonization, on the other hand, aims to transform the colonized into 'new men' with a new rhythm, language, and humanity through violent confrontation. This transformation is a shift from being dehumanized to attaining human status. Bennon emphasizes that decolonization's essence involves a bloody and violent struggle, as only through this violence can the colonized be elevated to human status.
