Bücher von Frantz Fanon

Provides inspiration for anti-colonial movements ever since, analysing the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. In this book, the author makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism.

Dünndruck-Ausgabe des Klassikers der politischen Philosophie. Frantz Fanon wuchs im postkolonialen Martinique auf und arbeitete nach seinem Einsatz im Zweiten Weltkrieg als Arzt an psychiatrischen Kliniken in Frankreich und Algerien. Sein Thema ist vor diesem Hintergrund zu verstehen: In 'Schwarze Haut, weiße Masken' rückt Frantz Fanon die psychische Dimension des kolonisierten Menschen, seine Erfahrung und Entfremdung, in den Mittelpunkt.

Since the publication of The Wretched of the Earth in 1961, Fanon's work has been deeply significant for generations of intellectuals and activists from the 60s to the present day.Alienation and Freedom collects together unpublished works comprising around half of his entire output - which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost. This book introduces audiences to a new Fanon, a more personal Fanon and one whose literary and psychiatric works, in particular, take centre stage. These writings provide new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon's entire oeuvre revealing more of his powerful thinking about identity, race and activism which remain remarkably prescient. Shedding new light on the work of a major 20th-century philosopher, this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.

This powerful collection of articles, essays, and letters spans the period between Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon's landmark manifestos on the psychology of the colonized and the means of empowerment necessary for their liberation.
