This groundbreaking work by Frantz Fanon, a psychiatrist and philosopher from Martinique, is a searing exploration of the psychological effects of racism and colonialism. Published in 1952, it became a seminal text in the study of postcolonial theory and the anti-colonial movements of the 1960s. Fanon’s incisive analysis of the internalized racism experienced by Black people living under French colonial rule resonated deeply with readers worldwide. This first Evergreen Black Cat edition from 1968 arrived at a pivotal moment, as the civil rights movement gained momentum and calls for decolonization echoed across Africa and the Caribbean. Despite its well-worn cover, this copy bears witness to the enduring power of Fanon’s words, which continue to inspire generations of scholars, activists, and readers seeking to understand the complex legacy of racism and the ongoing struggle for liberation.
