In Praise Of The Native Intellectual

The native intellectual had learnt from his masters that the individual ought to express himself fully. the colonialist bourgeoisie had hammered into the native's mind the idea of a society of individuals where each person shuts himself up in his own subjectivity and whose only wealth is individual thought. now the native who has the opportunity to return to the people during the struggle for freedom will discover the falseness of this theory. the very forms of organization of the struggle will suggest to him a different vocabulary.
