Red Menace

CHAPTER

Case Studies of Trauma and Mental Illness

Fanon takes on a 19 year old Algerian patient who fought with the ALN this man had stabbed a French woman to death. Fanon concluded that he was suffering through intense depersonalization and that his psychosis had reached an incredibly serious stage. This chapter was by far the most emotional for me I had to like set the book down several times to wipe the tears from my eyes as I read through these case studies of human beings being brutalized and mutilated by colonialism.
