Chapter 1: A Small Place
Fanon’s childhood home of Martinique was haunted by statues of ghosts like slavery and plantations. Vichy France Martinique, Robert’s Time, brought whiteness, oppression, plantation mentality back to the forefront of power on the island. Fanon, still believing in a true, anti-racist France, elected to go fight the root of the evil in North Africa: the Nazis.

Finished the prologue. Looking forward to learning more about this guy.
Asked my mom if she’d read The Wretched of the Earth, by Fanon. She said no but she’d read The Grapes of Wrath. I haven’t read Wretched either but I’m familiar with Grapes. Given the context of what I’ve read about Fanon, I don’t think she actually knows what Wretched is about.

I'm still not over the fact that booksellers don't consider an eBook you paid for yours but merely 'rented'. You pay them for the privilege to read. :(

Buying e-books is like buying air. If I care about a book, I buy the hard copy.
Marquise, agreed. It’s ridiculous.Fred, same. I should stop borrowing on Kindle and start making the effort to go to the library in person to support the physical book numbers.
