This is the only Fanon reader consisting entirely of his own writings. It is a very student-friendly introduction to this influential and widely studied figure in postcolonial and cultural studies and includes detailed bibliographies and further reading lists. Frantz Fanon is now a key figure in postconial and cultural studies. Born in 1925 on the French Caribbean island of Martinique, he passionately identified with Algeria's struggle for independence against the French. With the publication of "Black Skin, White Masks" (1952) and of "The Wretched of the Earth" (1961), he became the leading voice in black liberationist writing. With the publication of "The Fanon Reader", it is now possible to access all his important writings in one source.
About the Author(s)
Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was born in Martinique and studied medicine in France, specializing in psychiatry. Sent to a hospital in Algeria, he found his sympathies turning towards the Algerian Nationalist Movement, which he later joined. He is considered one of the most important theorists of the psychology of race and his books Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth have been extremely influential.
