By Frantz Fanon
Preface by Jean-Paul Sartre
The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon's classic work of modern
revolutionary theory, concerns the psychology of the colonized
and their path to liberation. It reflects a people's outrage
and frustration, but it is more than a diatribe against Western
colonialism. A brilliant and impassioned examination of the role
of violence in effecting historical change. The Wretched of the
Earth is a veritable handbook of social reorganization for
leaders of emerging nations.
A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in
the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the
most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, and
colonialism, in history. The Wretched of the Earth is a classic
work of revolutionary theory that has influenced everyone from
the Black Panthers to The Boondocks' Aaron McGruder.
