The Wretched of the Earth

The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking book that delves into the complexities of race, colonialism, psychological trauma, and revolutionary struggle.

First published in 1961, this masterpiece has found new relevance in recent years due to the Black Lives Matter movement and the growing need for narratives that interrogate race. With unparalleled insight into the rage and frustration of colonized peoples, Fanon's book attacks the twin perils of post-independence colonial politics: the disenfranchisement of the masses by elites and intertribal and interfaith animosities.

A must-read for revolutionaries and activists, The Wretched of the Earth is an eternal touchstone for civil rights, anti-colonialism, psychiatric studies, and Black consciousness movements around the world. This sixtieth anniversary edition features now-classic critical essays by Jean-Paul Sartre and Homi K.

Bhabha, as well as a new essay that further illuminates the book's enduring relevance.

With its powerful and incisive critique of colonialism and its ongoing impact on marginalized communities, The Wretched of the Earth is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of race and power in the world today.
