Frantz Fanon

Martiniquais-born psychiatrist and political philosopher who became the foremost theorist of decolonization — analyzing the psychological and political dimensions of colonial domination.

Black Skin, White Masks: the psychology of colonialism — the colonized person internalizes the colonizer's racial categories and suffers a double alienation. The Wretched of the Earth: decolonization requires violence — the colonized will only achieve psychological liberation through active struggle. The pitfalls of national consciousness: the post-colonial national bourgeoisie replaces the colonizer.
