Dear Students,
Thank you for participating in today's class on the mental disorders connected to violence in colonial wars (Fanon) and the introduction to The Other Hand. I enjoyed the conversation and reflections we shared.
A special thanks to those who submitted the assignment, which allowed me to offer a discussion on some useful writing tips in preparation for your exam! Feel free to consider my suggestions and resubmit your assignment if you would like more feedback.

In approximately 300 words, write a short essay reflecting on how Fanon’s perspective on violence relates to or differs from Spivak’s. Be sure to ground your argument with examples and (brief) quotations.

For the next class, please complete the reading of The Other Hand and bring your copy (either paper or digital) to participate in some activities we will work on together.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
