Quotes by Adam Shatz  (?)

“of each group measure themselves in relation to their distance from the dominant group and despise anyone below them in the structure.”
Adam Shatz, The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon

“Existentialism, with its fundamental conviction that “existence precedes essence,” ran counter to the essentialism of Senghor’s version of Négritude, with its evocation of an eternal, immutable African spirit. (Césaire’s version was far more user-friendly to existentialists.) It proposed that we are not determined by biological or cultural destiny: human subjects create themselves by the decisions they make, as they assume the burden of their freedom.”
Adam Shatz, The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon

“man. Whatever he did—take a stroll, dissect a corpse, make love, speak French—he did while being Black. It felt like a curse, or a time bomb in”
Adam Shatz, The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon
