Not so much a review as an attempt to explain some of the ideas that leapt out on my first reading of The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon in Richard Philcox’s translation from the French. I tried to include a few longer quotes to give viewers an idea of the writing style in this too.
Other works mentioned:
- Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon
- Discourse on Colonialism by Aimé Césaire
- Colonialism and Neocolonialism by Jean-Paul Sartre
- Existentialism Is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre
- Being and Nothingness by Jean-Paul Sartre
- The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
