The Wretched of the Earth, 60th Anniv Ed * Frantz Fanon * Nonfiction

First published in 1961, and reissued in this 60th anniv ed with a powerful new introduction by Cornel West, Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth is a masterful and 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, this book is an eternal touchstone for civil rights, anti-colonialism, psychiatric studies, and Black consciousness movements around the world. The book also features critical essays by Jean-Paul Sartre and Homi K. Bhabha. This 60th anniv edit 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.
