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, colonialism, and
racial difference in history. Fanon''s masterwork is a classic
alongside Edward Said''s Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm
X, and it is now available in a new translation that updates its
language for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earth
is a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized and
their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage
and frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence in
effecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twin
perils of post independence colonial politics: the
disenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, and
intertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon''s
analysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leaders
of emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in the
corruption and violence that has plagued present-day Africa. The
Wretched of the Earth has had a major impact on civil rights,
anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the
world, and this bold new translation by Richard Philcox reaffirms
it as a landmark.
