The Psychiatric Writings from Alienation and Freedom

Viac o knihe

Since the publication of The Wretched of the Earth in 1961, Fanon's work has been deeply significant for successive generations of intellectuals, anti-colonial and civil rights activists, and those working in postcolonial studies. Frantz Fanon is regarded as a foundational thinker of Postcolonial Studies, bringing together the analysis of colonialism from an objective, historical perspective and an interrogation of its subjective effects on colonizer and colonized alike. This book furthers his powerful intervention into how we think about identity, race, and activism and provides a unique insight into Fanon's literary, psychiatric, and journalistic theories. Alienation and Freedom represents a rare opportunity to read the last writings of a major 20th-century philosopher whose disruptive and moving work continues to shape how we look at the world.
