Part II Short Essay (60 points)

On a new clean sheet of paper write a 2 pg. double-spaced paper following the standard format of 12 pt. font, Times New Roman, and one inch margins (no extra spacing between paragraphs, don’t enlarge your margins to take up space or increase the font size to make it seem as if you wrote a lot, I am aware of these tricks). For this part of the midterm do not go over 3 pgs. Part of the aim of the exercise is for you to sort out what is relevant within a large chunk of information and to be concise. Please write clear, non-repetitive, succinct, dense answers to the questions below. Make sure you answer every part of a question so you do not lose points. Also break up your answer into digestible paragraphs that are organized into clear chunks with smooth logical transitions and not one long single spaced paragraph. You want to give your reader a breather. When you answer these questions try and answer them in your own words, with clear examples, and in such a way that someone who never read these philosophers could get a feel for the question and understand an answer to it.

If you have written beyond the 3 pg. limit for the short writing assignment section there are some things you can do to trim it: (a) read it aloud (i.e. yourself or someone else) (b) delete extra words/phrases that do not work to help express what you want to say (c) look for repetitive sentences and delete them. Here are the questions(remember when providing tetxtual evidence you must just include parenthesis and page number, no works cited is needed):

(1b)Why does this strategy fail for Fanon? Briefly explain. You must cite distinct pieces of textual evidence indicating why Fanon thinks that strategy fails?

Fanon says in his introduction “However, painful it may be for me to accept this conclusion, I am obliged to state it: For the black man there is only one destiny, And it is white.”(pg. 4) (2f) In what sense might Anzaldua still be white (i.e. still be somewhat snagged in the vicious circle identified by Fanon)? You must give reason. 

3.In chapter five, “The Fact of Blackness” Fanon tries to get out of the vicious circle by making 2 attempts at liberation and ends by crying. (3a)What 2 strategies of liberation does Fanon adopt? Identify Fanon’s 2 attempts at liberation. (3b) What is the problem with the 1st attempt according to Fanon? Briefly explain. Fanon then discusses 3 distinct problems that are raised against his 2nd strategy of liberation. (3c)What is the first problem? Briefly explain.
