Combining his expertise as a psychotherapist with fierce political analysis, Fanon offers a revolutionary blueprint for national liberation and socialism. Celebrated globally, this book remains a critical resource for understanding race, class, and resistance in post-colonial contexts. ## Description 'This century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism' Angela Davis Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence from French colonial rule and first published in 1961, Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth has provided inspiration for anti-colonial movements ever since, analysing the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. With power and anger, Fanon makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. It was Fanon, himself a psychotherapist, who exposed the connection between colonial war and mental disease, who showed how the fight for freedom must be combined with building a national culture, and who showed the way ahead, through revolutionary violence, to socialism. 'In clear language, in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage, he showed us the internal theatre of racism' Deborah Levy Review: Excellent. From A Historical and Current Perspective - This book by Frantz Fanon is relevant today. The context of the book is Algeria and French colonialism, so it is interesting for anyone studying French colonialism in Algeria. However, the lessons are timeless. Many countries suffered from colonialism and continue to struggle to find their national character in the post-colonial world. Franz Fanton's writing, while balanced, conceals deep anger. There is anger he directs at the colonialists and towards native people who copy the colonialists and exploit their fellow citizens. The last chapter, in which he talks about some of the mental problems arising from colonialism, is powerful. The conclusion calls for his citizens to find themselves and not copy their old masters. This book is brilliant and relevant today.
