A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classic alongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and it is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earth is a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized and their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage and frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence in effecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twin perils of post independence colonial politics: the disenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, and intertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon's analysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leaders of emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in the corruption and violence that has plagued present-day Africa. The Wretched of the Earth has had a major impact on civil rights, anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the world, and this bold new translation by Richard Philcox reaffirms it as a landmark.

Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, and Black Skin, White Masks represents some of his most important work. Fanon's masterwork is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today from one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history.

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Alienation and Freedom collects together unpublished works comprising around half of his entire output – which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost.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.

In this illuminating book, Frantz Fanon reveals the various ways in which the people of Algeria, during the revolution, changed their centuries-old patterns of culture, or, conversely, embraced certain ancient forms of culture, or , conversely, embraced certain forms of culture long derided by their colonist oppressors as "primitive" in order to destroy their oppressors.

Frantz Fanon's seminal work on the trauma of colonization made him the leading anti-colonialist thinker of the twentieth century. Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence from French colonial rule and first published in 1961, it analyses the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. Fanon, himself a psychotherapist, makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. Showing how decolonization must be combined with building a national culture, this passionate analysis of relations between the West and the Third World is still illuminating about the world today.

This powerful collection of articles, essays, and letters spans the period between Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and The Wretched of the Earth (1961), Fanon’s landmark manifesto on the psychology of the colonized and the means of empowerment necessary for their liberation. These pieces display the genesis of some of Fanon’s greatest ideas ideas that became so vital to the leaders of the American civil rights movement.

A obra-prima do mais importante pensador da luta antirracista e anticolonial. Os condenados da terra é o ponto culminante de uma obra radical e incontornável abreviada pela morte precoce do psiquiatra martinicano Frantz Fanon, um dos pensadores mais revolucionários do século XX.
Ao analisar a situação colonial, Fanon tensiona política, sociedade e indivíduo, demonstrando de forma clara as estratégias e efeitos do poder dominante — o resultado da opressão é raiva, dor e loucura. Com isso, o autor desmonta a lógica colonial europeia — branca, brutal e racista —, e propõe uma "descolonização do ser", afirmando: "É preciso mudar completamente, desenvolver um pensamento novo, tentar criar um homem novo." Só assim é possível criar um mundo realmente humano, onde a massa deserdada de homens e mulheres dos países colonizados e pobres — os condenados da terra — sejam os inventores de sua própria vida.
Publicado em 1961, ano da morte de Fanon, que o escreveu doente e sabendo que o tempo era escasso, o livro é considerado um clássico absoluto, suma de seu pensamento e um tratado magistral sobre as relações entre colonialismo, racismo e insubmissão. Esta edição traz apresentação de Thula Pires, Wanderson Flor do Nascimento e Marcos Queiroz, além do prefácio de Jean-Paul Sartre à edição original de 1961 e texto de Cornel West.

La décolonisation faite, cet essai de compréhension du rapport Noir-Blanc garde toute sa valeur prophétique : car le racisme, malgré les horreurs dont il a comblé le monde, reste un problème d'avenir.

Il est ici abordé et combattu de front, avec toutes les ressources des sciences de l'homme et avec la passion de celui qui allait devenir un maître à penser pour beaucoup d'intellectuels du tiers monde.

What does the promise of “speaking nearby” rather than “speaking about” look like today? What are the politics of hospitality? What are the problematics of “postfeminism,” and how do we challenge the West as the authoritative subject of feminist knowledge? What are the ways that language can be a site of rupture? How do we generate mistrust in the “well-written,” and how can poetry be a radical act of refusal? How can we be subjects that believe in land and not borders? What influence has technology and digital space had on the “making and unmaking of identity”? How do we navigate a cyclical eruption of decolonizations?

No texto, inédito em língua portuguesa, o autor apresenta diversas formas de resistência oferecidas pelo povo argelino ante a presença do médico-colonizador, como a desobediência ao tratamento, a recusa em explicar o que passava ou sentia, assim como a transformação dessa postura quando a Frente de Libertação Nacional (FLN) assumiu partes do cuidado da saúde do povo argelino em sua guerra de libertação contra o colonialismo francês, ocorrida entre os anos de 1954 a 1962.
