A identidade no processo de descolonização em Albert memmi

Abstract

The present work aims to present the works of Albert Memmi as a philosophical structure capable of explaining not only the logic behind the colonization but also it’s denial. To achieve such objective, a qualitative bibliographic research is employed, focusing on the works The colonizer and the colonized (1957) and Decolonization and the decolonized (2004). In a first instance, an attempt is made to recreate the portraits the philosopher draws of the identities of both the colonizer and the colonized in order to understand the agency they possess in the relationship developed between one another and between them and the colonization process itself. Then, this work seeks to establish an understanding of how Memmi lays out the colonial logic when it is mechanically understood and supported by other processes that make up its structure in a dialectical format. Finally, in a last effort, the study turns to the author's post-colonial work to understand how he reveals the apparent failure of the decolonization process, manifested in the incompleteness once again reflected by the subjects of this new society
