Frantz Fanon was one of the twentieth-century' s most influential theorists and activists, whose work fighting against colonialism and imperialism has been an inspiration to today' s decolonization and anti-racism movements. As the author of essential texts such as The Wretched of the Earth and Black Skin, White Masks, his impact on today' s activists - from Rhodes Must Fall to Black Lives Matter - is indelible. Leo Zeilig here details the fascinating life of Fanon - from his upbringing in Martinique to his wartime experiences and work in Europe and North Africa - and frames his ideas and activism within the greater context of his career as a practising psychiatrist and his politically tumultuous surroundings. The book covers the period of the Algerian War of Independence, national liberation and what Fanon described as ' the curse of independence' . Highlighting Fanon' s role as the most influential theorist of anti-colonialism and racial liberation, this book is an essential read for those interesting in the roots of the modern day anti-racism and decolonization movements.
No revolutionary is born ready," Leo Zeilig states in his introduction to Frantz Fanon: The Militant Philosopher of Third World Revolution, and in this smoothly written biography, he proceeds to provide an insight into the complexities that made up this remarkable thinker. . . In today' s world, where the Black Lives Matter movement highlights the disillusionment of a people who were once so excited about a black president, and where the endless war on terrorism can resemble the kind of self-serving and arbitrary exercising of power conducted by colonising states, his ideas are as relevant as ever. -- Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi * The Independent * The work of Fanon is of extreme relevance today - with regard to racism, classism, terrorism and on social revolutionary movements. . . A must read! * Brownbrainyandbeautiful. com *
