The Wretched of the Earth - Frantz Fanon

 

 

This blog contains an overview of the Frantz Fanon’s most important book The Wretched of the Earth (1961)

The Wretched of the Earth (French: Les Damnés de la Terre) is a 1961 book by the psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, in which the author provides a psychological and psychiatric analysis of the dehumanizing effects of colonization upon the individual and the nation, and discusses the broader social, cultural, and political implications of establishing a social movement for the decolonization of a person and of a people. The French-language title derives from the opening lyrics of "The Internationale". (Wikipedia)
