Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was a Caribbean and African psychiatrist,
philosopher and revolutionary whose works, including Black Skin,
White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth are hugely influential in
the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory, and
post-Marxism. His legacy remains with us today, having inspired
movements in Palestine, Sri Lanka, the US and South Africa. This is
a critical biography of his extraordinary life. Peter Hudis draws
on the expanse of his life and work - from his upbringing in
Martinique and early intellectual influences to his mature efforts
to fuse psychoanalysis and philosophy and contributions to the
anti-colonial struggle in Algeria - to counter the monolithic
assumption that Fanon's contribution to modern thought is defined
by the advocacy of violence. He was a political activist who
brought his interests in psychology and philosophy directly to bear
on such issues as mutual recognition, democratic participation and
political sovereignty. Hudis shows that, as a result, Fanon emerges
as neither armchair intellectual nor intransigent militant.
