One thing that surpised people was than Fanon married a White wife. This
would not be noteworthy if his Marxism had been merely or primarily
econonically or socially based. But to Fanon what the White Man (and by
extension the White Woman) felt at an unconscious level (dreamed)
about his Blackness might have excluded the possibility of a
very trusting marriage relationship. Anyone know about the woman?

People do change their views in the course of their lives. His was quite
short of course. Could true love have conceivable altered his views about
the White Race? Or was he merely a man of strong contrasts?
