AB  - This article presents a comparative study of twoeminent philosophers and three different works on the axis of the colonizer andthe colonized.[1]Thearticle, on the one hand, reflects the mind of the colonizer and the colonized,on the other hand it will reveal the relations of this echo in selected worksto confirm that both the east and the west are nourishing their beneficiaryconsuming machine on their victims in the neo-liberal system.  Albert Memmi’s The Colonizer and the Colonized involves the black man's war ofexistence against the exploiting white man while it purports to present howcolonialism encapsulates the colonized. It will also play a major role in thesynthesis of the selected works that include different times and places. JohnMaxwell Coetzee’s Disgrace is a novelabout the dilemma of an elderly white academician in a scandalous indignity,and Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalistis about a young Pakistani lad’s rushing towards a career in the United Statesduring the aftermath of 9/11. What makes these two men so akin is not theirskin colours but something else. It's like a piece of whole that is far fromeach other but actually so close. On the other hand, in his book Black Skin White Masks, Frantz Fanoninvestigates different dimensions of irritating existence of the worthless one:the colonized.  As a psychiatrist Fanonexplains how the colonizer, after all human beings come to be so intolerableand relentless to the colonized ones and why the colonized people always cometo a dead end when it comes to get rid of the sense of otherness no matter whatthey do to get equal rights with the colonizer. The tension between the colonizerand the colonized, which can be depicted as a social schizophrenia has beenexemplified in the play of Amiri Baraka, Dutchman.In the light of the brilliant ideas presented in Black Skin White Masks, the play of Amiri Baraka Dutchman will be analysed in terms ofthe concepts of the colonizer, the colonized, psychology of racism anddehumanization through the fictional characters Clay, the man of colour and Lula,the white woman. Ultimately, this article will try to confirm that theintersection points of both the colonizer and the colonized are not their skincolours but their minds. If there is any freedom to be reached, this shouldstart from liberating the minds, thus by decolonizing the minds, not bydistinguishing the skin colours.[1] Inspired from Albert Memmi’s seminal work The Colonizer and the Colonized.
