Frantz Fanon is a Martinican-born psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary writer widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in postcolonial theory and anti-colonial thought. Born in Fort-de-France, Martinique, he rose to international acclaim with works including Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, texts that continue to be studied as foundational works of postcolonial and critical race theory. Trained as a psychiatrist in France, he later worked in colonial Algeria, where his clinical experience with the psychological effects of racism and colonial violence shaped his revolutionary political thought. He went on to join the Algerian independence movement, becoming a leading intellectual voice for decolonization and liberation movements across Africa and beyond. Known for his unflinching analysis of race, violence, and colonial oppression, Fanon's work continues to shape modern political philosophy and inspire readers and revolutionaries across the world.
