Sinan notes that there are limits to how Fanon is willing to use psychoanalysis ("You cannot use psychoanalysis to pathologize the Black man"), noting Fanon's famous critique of Octave Mannoni. We discuss how psychoanalysis is a praxis of treatment, more appropriate to dealing with (colonial) pathologies than for the utopian task of conceptualizing a revolutionary future (hence Fanon's reference to psychoanalysis as a means of responding to "failures"). And yet there are nonetheless important moments in 'A Dying Colonialism', such as the chapter 'This is the Voice of Algeria', where Fanon draws on concepts of psychoanalysis - such as notions of hallucination and delusion - so as understand resistance to colonialism.
