    Hanna Arendt, rejected any process led by the oppressed, such as the wars of independence in Africa,

    ok ok i couldnt find what she said about that specifically but i found this???

    " Chapter 7 (“Race and Bureaucracy”) in Origins, where Arendt took up this topic directly, she wrote that the eighteenth-century European “enthusiasm for the diversity in which the all-present identical nature of man and reason could find expression” met a stern test when it was “faced with tribes which, as far as we know, never had found by themselves any adequate expression of human reason or human passion in either cultural deeds or popular customs, and which had developed human institutions only to a very low level.”

    omg! mind boggling had to share! this was from a summery of Politics in Dark Times Encounters with Hannah Arendt
