““Decolonization, which sets out to change the order of the world, is, obviously, a program of complete disorder. But it cannot come as a result of magical practices, nor of a natural shock, nor of a friendly understanding. Decol onization, as we know, is a historical process: that is to say that it cannot be understood, it cannot become in telligible nor clear to itself except in the exact measure that we can discern the movements which give it histori cal form and content””
