摘要:In his Lettre à Maurice Thorez, Aimé Césaire argues that the Parti Communiste Française (PCF) had been reluctant to address the “particularities” of decolonization in the declining French Empire, especially in Algeria and the French Caribbean, and was concerned about the party’s idealization of the Western proletariat as the subject of revolutionary transformation: The colonial question, cannot be treated as a subsidiary part of some more important global matter, as part over which deals can be arranged or upon which others patch up compromises they think they have a right to seek in the name of an overall situation which they retain the exclusive right to interpret . . . our colonialism, the struggle of coloured people against racism, is much more complex, indeed, it is of a totally different nature than the struggle of the Frenchworkers against French capitalism, and cannot in any case be considered a part, as a fragment, of that struggle.
