First sentence: Fanon emphasizes the dialectical movement of the spirit: on the one hand it is exposed as a mere "European spirit," as a false universalism based on "strange roots," and accordingly a disaster for the majority of humanity; on the other, through the subtle distinction between the spirit and its strictly European embodiment implicit throughout Fanon's work, the spirit itself is rehabilitated as a living force still in the service of a new humannism.
