A French translation of SA 0312/D1426 by Claire Pace.

A response to the question of whether, since the writing of PROSPERO AND CALIBAN (New York, Praeger, 1964), a study of the psychol of colonization, the author's position has developed. The signif of an attempt to find a purely psychol'al explanation for the problems & difficulties arising from colonization is now queried. The validity of the psychol'al approach is reaffirmed, but it is stated that those who are truly emotionally involved are reluctant to take this approach into serious consideration. However, the scope of the psychol'al attitude is limited; 'it allows us to confront certain racist att's when it is powerless to correct them.' Though by getting rid of the delusions we can reach the real problems, they are not thereby overcome. Every attempt to find a solution exclusively in the destruction of racism inevitably leads to a universalist theory, which loses sight of the problem of the important diff's between men. It is stressed that 'whenever it became impossible to ignore the diff's between men, it was our own inability to make something of these diff's that released blind reactions of rejection of violence-as if the man who embodied the diff, who confounded our universalist ideas, had to bear the punishment for this outrage.'
