A valuable (psycho)analysis of colonialism and decolonial struggle that remains relevant. 

At times the writing feels a bit dense. Not sure if it's the translation from French to English, or maybe just the style of a different era that I had a hard time connecting with.

1.5 stars for still being relevant for today and challenging the way Westerners conceptualize violence today. Not  any more than that because it is largely repetitive, long-winded, and generally disorganized. Much of his proposed solutions to the colonial question are ideal, but place a lot of faith in nationalism, which has become more and more problematic since this book’s publication
