Frantz Fanon - Escritos Políticos e Psiquiátricos

"Frantz Fanon influenced generations of anti-colonialists, civil rights activists, and academics in colonial studies. His works, which gave rise to the so-called 'Fanonian studies,' were inspired by decades of anti-colonial liberation movements and analyze the psychological consequences of colonization—both from the colonizer's and the colonized's point of view—as well as the processes of decolonization, considering their sociological, philosophical, and psychiatric aspects. Many of Fanon's texts remained unpublished and inaccessible until recently.

This book now brings together his political and psychiatric writings, both absolutely interconnected, presenting scientific articles, original texts, and scattered writings that deal primarily, in the words of his French editor, François Maspero, with 'colonialist alienation seen through the lens of mental illness.'"
