The sixtieth anniversary edition of Frantz Fanon' s landmark text, now with a new introduction by Cornel WestFirst published in 1961, and reissued in this sixtieth anniversary edition with a powerful new introduction by Cornel West, Frantz Fanon' s The Wretched of the Earth is a masterfuland timeless interrogation of race, colonialism, psychological trauma, and revolutionary struggle, and a continuing influence on movements from Black Lives Matter to decolonization. A landmark text 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. Alongside Cornel West' s introduction, the book features critical essays by Jean-Paul Sartre and Homi K. Bhabha. This sixtieth anniversary edition of Fanon' s most famous text stands proudly alongside such pillars of anti-colonialism and anti-racism as Edward Said' s Orientalism and The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Praise for The Wretched of the Earth"The writing of Malcolm X or Eldridge Cleaver or Amiri Baraka or the Black Panther leaders reveals how profoundly they have been moved by the thoughts of Frantz Fanon. "--Boston Globe"Have the courage to read this book. "--Jean-Paul Sartre"This century' s most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism. "--Angela Davis"The value of The Wretched of the Earth [lies] in its relation to direct experience, in the perspective of the Algerian revolution . . . Fanon forces his readers to see the Algerian revolution--and by analogy other contemporary revolutions--from the viewpoint of the rebels. "--Conor Cruise O' Brien, Nation"The Wretched of the Earth is an explosion. "--Emile Capouya, Saturday Review
Frantz Fanon was born in Martinique in 1925. He served in the French Army during World War II, and later studied medicine and psychiatry in France, where he published his first book, Black Skin, White Masks in 1952. He joined the Algerian Nationalist Movement in the mid-1950s, and published The Wretched of the Earth shortly before dying of leukemia in December 1961.
