Main content
2025 is the centenary of Frantz Fanon, the Martinique-born psychiatrist, critical theorist, and anti-colonial militant. His work, written in the context of French colonial rule and the Algerian war of independence, offers a powerful diagnosis of the psychological and political structures of colonial domination as well as of decolonization struggles. Fanon interrogates traditions and figures ranging from Hegel and Sartre to Marxism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis and the n茅gritude movement of Aim茅 C茅saire and L茅opold Senghor. From听Black Skin, White Masks听to听The Wretched of the Earth, his writings remain crucial reference points in debates on topics like (neo)colonialism, racism, identity, lived experience, humanism, decolonization, and social justice.
