The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon

“The Wretched of the Earth,” originally published in French as “Les Damnés de la Terre” in 1961, is a seminal work by psychiatrist and philosopher Frantz Fanon. This book is considered a key text in post-colonial studies, revolutionary movements, and anti-colonial theory. Fanon, drawing from his experiences in Algeria during its war of independence from France, provides a profound critique of colonialism and its dehumanizing effects on both colonized and colonizers.
