Description
Frantz Fanon's seminal work on the trauma of colonization, The Wretched of the Earth, has had a profound impact on anti-colonialist thought. This Penguin Modern Classics edition, translated from the French by Constance Farrington, provides a powerful analysis of the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence, Fanon's text has inspired anti-colonial movements for decades, analysing the role of class, race, national culture, and violence in the struggle for freedom. Fanon's work shows how the fight for freedom must be combined with building a national culture, and how revolutionary violence can lead to socialism. A key figure in the fight for Algerian independence, Frantz Fanon was a Martinique-born French author, essayist, psychoanalyst, and revolutionary. His works continue to be relevant today, offering a powerful analysis of the world we live in.
