Prospero and Caliban

In his now classic volume Prospero and Caliban , Octave Mannoni gives his firsthand account of a 1948 revolt in Madagascar that led to one of the bloodiest episodes of colonial repression on the African continent. It is in Prospero and Caliban that Mannoni constructs the notion of the "dependency complex," for which his book has since been remembered and widely discussed in both psychoanalytical and anthropological writing.
