Synopsis "Alienation And Freedom "

Since the publication of The Wretched of the Earth in 1961, Fanon's work has been deeply significant for generations of intellectuals and activists from the 60s to the present day.Alienation and Freedom collects together previously unpublished works comprising around half of his entire output – which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost. This book introduces audiences to a new Fanon, a more personal Fanon and one whose literary and psychiatric works, in particular, take centre stage. These writings provide new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon's entire oeuvre revealing more of his powerful thinking about identity, race and activism which remain remarkably prescient. Shedding new light on the work of a major 20th-century philosopher, this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.

Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was born in Fort-de-France, Martinique. He studied medicine in France, becoming the director of the psychiatric hospital in Blida-Joinville (Algeria) in 1953 where he closely collaborated with the Algerian National Liberation Front. Expelled from Algeria in 1957, he settled in Tunisia to work with the Provisional Government of the Algerian Revolution, being appointed ambassador to Ghana in 1960. Among his books are L'an V de la révolution algérienne (1959), Les damnés de la terre (1961) and Pour la révolution africaine (1964).
