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 (FrenchLes 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)

Here I have embedded a PowerPoint presentation containing an explanation of the text.
