Description

Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and The Wretched of the Earth (1961) by the Afro-Caribbean writer Frantz Fanon are classics of anti-colonial literature. Ten writers here explore Fanon’s legacy, his radical work as a psychiatrist, his writing, and his commitment towards independence movements – all part of a remarkable life that came to an end when Fanon died from cancer aged just 36.
