Frantz Fanon argued in his 1961 book The Wretched of the Earth that the violence in the colonies is not brought there by the colonized.
It is installed there by the colonizer.
It is the foundational grammar of colonial rule, which can only maintain itself through force.
The colonized learns violence from the colonizer, as the primary language of their relationship.
When that person arrives in the metropole, they do not bring foreign violence into a peaceful civilization.
They bring home a violence that was always already French.
They bring it back to its source.
And the source looks at them and calls them "savage."
This is not complexity.
This is a mirror.
And the civilization that cannot look into it has not, despite all claims to the contrary, grown up yet.
