The Wretched of the Earth

Book • 1963
Frantz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth" is a seminal work of postcolonial theory that explores the psychological and social effects of colonialism on colonized peoples.

Fanon argues that colonialism creates a system of oppression that dehumanizes and alienates the colonized, leading to violence and resistance.

He analyzes the role of violence in the struggle for liberation, emphasizing its necessity in breaking the cycle of oppression.

The book also examines the process of decolonization, highlighting the need for a complete transformation of society and the creation of new forms of social and political organization.

Fanon's work remains highly influential in discussions of colonialism, decolonization, and the ongoing struggle for racial and social justice.
