[Image Descriptions: Three screenshots of text from a book with portions highlighted.
First image: Title at the top reads, "Discourse on Colonialism." Author text underneath reads, "Aimé Césaire". Text below that reads "Translated by Joan Pinkham. This version published by Monthly Review Press: New York and London, 1972. Originally published as [italicized text begins] Discours sur le colonialisme [italicized text ends] by Editions Presence Africaine, 1955." The paragraph below is highlighted entirely in blue and reads, "COPYRIGHT: From a Counter-Racist perspective, this is nothing other than a mechanism employed by White Supremacists (Racists) that has been designed to control access to information by non-White people."
Second image: Text reads, "And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific reverse shock: [orange highlight begins] the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers around the racks invent, refine, discuss." [orange highlight ends.] The next paragraph reads, "People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: 'How strange! But never mind - it's Nazism, it will. pass!' [orange highlight begins] And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack." [orange highlight ends.] The last paragraph reads, "Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, [orange highlight starts] he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler [italics] inhabits [italics end] him, that Hitler is his [italics] demon [italics end], that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not [italics] crime [italics end] in itself, [italics] the crime against man [italics end], it is not [italics] the humiliation of man as such [italics end], it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa." [orange highlight ends.]
Third image: Text reads, "And that is the great thing I hold against psuedo-humanism: [orange highlight starts] that for too long it has diminished the rights of man, that its concept of those rights has been - and still is - narrow and fragmentary, incomplete and biased and, all things considered, sordidly racist." [orange highlight ends.] The next paragraph reads, "[orange highlight starts] I have talked a good deal about Hitler. Because he deserves it: he makes it possible to see things on a large scale and to grasp the fact that capitalist society, at its present stage, is incapable of establishing a concept of the rights of all men, just as it has proved incapable of establishing a system of individual ethics. Whether one likes it or not, at the end of the blind alley that is Europe, [orange highlight ends] I mean the Europe of Adenauer, Schuman, Bidault, and a few others, [orange highlight starts] there is Hitler. At the end of capitalism, which is eager to outlive its day, there is Hitler. At the end of formal humanism and philosophic renunciation, there is Hitler." [orange highlight ends.] /end IDs.]
