Reciprocity of the Other and the Self in the role of the native and the foreigner

In Fanon’s “Concerning Violence” he discusses the relationship between colonizers and natives. The themes here are similar to Beauvoir’s concept of the Self and the Other in their reciprocity. Our discussion on Tuesday helped me answer my main question that I had about the essential nature of this reciprocity and why these relationships persist. The roles central in the process of colonization and decolonization are variations on the key concept of Self and Other. Those roles such as: settler, native, foreigner. However, what concerns me is how the Other, as Beauvoir described it, diverges from Fanon’s description: “The governing race is first and foremost those who come from elsewhere, those who are unlike the original inhabitants, "the others." The subjectivity of this Otherness is touched on by Beauvoir: ‘As a matter of fact, wars, festivals, trading, treaties, and contests among tribes, nations, and classes tend to deprive the concept Other of its absolute sense and to make manifest its relativity; willy-nilly, individuals and groups are forced to realize the reciprocity of their relations.” 

My question therefore is in the process of colonization and decolonization, how does the role of the Other change and how does the power in the hands of one, change when these events occur. Does violence have the capacity to turn the tables of this reciprocal power play?
