Fanon on post colonial Africa

The national bourgeoisie steps into the shoes of the European....It discovers its historic mission as an intermediary....to serve as a conveyor belt for a capitalism forced to camouflage itself....The national bourgeoisie with no misgivings and with great pride revels in the role of business agents in its dealings with the Western bourgeoisie....The dynamic, pioneering aspect, the inventor and discoverer of the worlds is here absent....This bourgeoisie, which has unreservedly and enthusiatically, adopted the intellectual reflexes that characterise the metropole, which has marvelously alienated its own thought and grounded its consciousness on typically foreign bases (Frantz Fanon)
