Les damnés de la terre

In this book, Frantz Fanon provides a detailed analysis of the psychological, social, and cultural impacts of colonialism on both the colonizer and the colonized.

He discusses the role of violence in the decolonization process and the importance of the lumpenproletariat in revolutionary movements.

The book also explores the division of the native population into different groups under colonial rule and critiques traditional Marxist views on the role of the intellectual in revolution.

The preface by Jean-Paul Sartre is included in many editions.
