An essential introduction to Fanon’s remarkable life and philosophy. Connecting his writing, psychiatric practice and lived experience in the Caribbean, France and Africa, Gibson highlights Fanon’s philosophical commitments and the vision of revolution that he stood for. Fanon’s oeuvre is essential to thinking about race today.

Revolutionary humanist and radical psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was one of the greatest Black thinkers of the twentieth century. Born in Martinique and known for his involvement in the Algerian liberation movement, his seminal books Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth are widely considered to be cornerstones of anti-colonial and anti-racist thought.

In this essential introduction to Fanon’s remarkable life and philosophy, Nigel C. Gibson argues that Fanon’s oeuvre is essential to thinking about race today. Connecting Fanon’s writing, psychiatric practice and lived experience in the Caribbean, France and Africa, Gibson highlights Fanon’s his philosophical commitments and the vision of revolution that he stood for. Despite his untimely death, the revolutionary pulse of Fanon’s ideas has continued to beat ever more strongly in the consciousness of successive revolutionary generations, from the Black Panthers and Black power to the Black Lives Matter and Fallist student movements, as well as to grassroots resistance movements working to improve the lives of Black and indigenous people who are continuously oppressed by systems of capitalism, imperialism and colonialism.

As Fanon’s thought comes alive to new activists thinking about their mission to ‘humanise the world,’ Gibson reminds us that Fanon’s revolutionary humanism is fundamental to all forms of anti-colonial struggle across the world.
