Said & Adorno

Going off your idea of double consciousness, it reminds me of Fanon's article where he talks about the consciousness of the colonized intelluectual. Fanon says the intelluctual's works side with the politicians and he explores the Western culture and tries to identify with it. But then when his people mobilize he experiences cognitive dissonance and and wants to disregard his connection to Western culture. Said also mentions that intellectuals in exile are "happy" with their unhappiness, though I'm sure the Negro intellectual much rather simply have a liberated consciousness.
