Fanon, a modern critic of colonialism from the French West Indies, discusses the oppresiveness and dehumanization of European colonialism:
- The colonies are split into two parts: the European side with all the resources and luxuries and the native side which is much worse off
- The police of the colonies enforce peace through their weapons and violence
- The natives always look to the European town with envy and they dream of all of their possessions
- The colonies show forms of segregation based on race
- The settlers believe the natives to be evil because their culture and their ways are different from the Europeans
- The Church is a way for the European to oppress the native
