Description

Nearly forty years after his death, social philosopher Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) remains a towering intellectual figure. Born in Guadeloupe and trained as a psychologist in France, Fanon rejected his French citizenship to join the Algerian liberation movement in the 1950s. This collection brings together some of the most important, enduring essays written on Fanon. Included alongside biographical material are discussions of politics, philosophy, and revolution and debates about psychology, feminism, and culture. The collection reflects the continuing impact of Fanon's thought on African-American and African studies, feminism, postcolonialsim, and cultural studies.

First Sentence

The island of Martinique, where Fanon was born, was one of the Overseas Departments of France.
