About the author

Frantz Fanon was a psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary, and author from Martinique. He was influential in the field of post-colonial studies and was perhaps the pre-eminent thinker of the 20th century on the issue of decolonization and the psychopathology of colonization. His works have inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for more than four decades.

Good introduction to Fanon. What I liked about the book was the range of Fanon readings. If you have not read Fanon before (and I hope you do), this book is a good introduction.
