Born in Martinique, then as now a departement of France, Frantz Fanon (l925-61) trained as a psychiatrist in Lyons before taking up a post in colonial Algeria. He had already experienced racism as a soldier in the Free French Army, for which he had volunteered and in whose ranks he saw combat during the liberation of France. In Algeria, he came into contact with the Front de Liberation National whose ruthless struggle for an independent Algeria was met with quite exceptional violence by the French Army. Fanon identified completely with the FLN and soon became a marked man. Forced to flee Algeria when he resigned his post, Fanon subsequently worked with the FLN as a propagandist and ambassador.Based on extensive and original research, this is the most compete and objective biography of Fanon yet written. It sweeps away the myths that have grown up around him and reveals Fanon to be a complex figure, infinitely more interesting than the theorist of anti-colonial violence celebrated by the left in the 60s. Macey shows Fanon to have been a man formed in the context of the French Caribbean, with its history of slavery and racism, and traces Fanon's intellectual career as a political thinker and psychiatrist with great care, setting it against the background of post-war French culture.David Macey has done justice for the first time to the extraordinary life of a complex figure, flawed in some respects but fundamentally a humanist committed to the eradication of colonialism, a man whose angry and eloquent writings are still of fierce relevance today.

Frantz Fanon: Black Skin White Mask Frantz Fanon: Black Skin White Mask - BR 850003924021

The short, but remarkable, life of Frantz Fanon has attracted several biographers, all of whom have relied on Fanon’s older brother, Joby, for information on Fanon’s early life. Dissatisfied with these portrayals, Joby decided to tell the story of his brother in his own words with a richness of detail not found in any other work. Translated into English by Daniel Nethery, this is an intimate, passionate, and very human account of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century.Frantz Fanon stands as one of the most uncompromising critics of racism and colonialism. His experience growing up as French colonial subject taught him to be fearless in the defense of his ideals. At the age of seventeen he left his home island of Martinique to fight in Europe against Nazi Germany. After the war he studied medicine and wrote his first book, Black Skin, White Masks. He practiced as a psychiatrist in Algeria and put his medical skills and literary talent in the service of the struggle for Algerian independence and African liberation. He died in 1961, one week after the publication of his classic text, The Wretched of the Earth. He was thirty-six years old.

Frantz Fanon was one of the great figures of mid-century revolt in the Third World. Born in Martinique, Fanon trained as a psychiatrist in France prior to taking a post in colonial Algeria. Here he met with the Front de Liberation National which was fighting a bitter war of independence. He subsequently worked with them as a propagandist and ambassador. Although he died from leukaemia at the age of 36, he managed to produce a number of memorable writings on race, racism, psychiatry and anti-colonialism. This biography aims to go beyond the myths surrounding the revolutionary hero to reveal Fanon as a complex figure, above and beyond the theorist of 1960s anti-colonial violence.

Germany, 1919: Having lost her fianc Frantz in the Great War, Anna (Paula Beer) was well resigned to a life of joining his parents (Ernst Sttzner, Marie Gruber) in perpetual mourning. One day, however, young Frenchman Adrien (Pierre Niney) began making regular visits to Frantzs grave...and, when approached by Anna, asserted that theyd had a friendship. The two bereaveds form a bond, but will it survive the shocking truth that Adrien harbors? Franois Ozon's moving remake of Lubitschs Broke

Analysis of Fanon’s major theories, with a special emphasis on his work on alienation.

The revolutionary and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was a foundational figure in postcolonial and decolonial thought and practice, yet his psychiatric work still has only been studied peripherally. That is in part because most of his psychiatric writings have remained untranslated. With a focus on Fanon’s key psychiatry texts, Frantz Fanon: Psychiatry and Politics considers Fanon’s psychiatic writings as materials anticipating as well as accompanying Fanon’s better known work, written between 1952 and 1961 (Black Skin, White Masks, A Dying Colonialism, Toward the African Revolution, The Wretched of the Earth). Both clinical and political, they draw on another notion of psychiatry that intersects history, ethnology, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. The authors argue that Fanon’s work inaugurates a critical ethnopsychiatry based on a new concept of culture (anchored to historical events, particular situations, and lived experience) and on the relationship between the psychological and the cultural. Thus, Gibson and Beneduce contend that Fanon’s psychiatric writings also express Fanon’s wish, as he puts it in The Wretched of the Earth, to “develop a new way of thinking, not only for us but for humanity.”

Frantz Fanon, né à la Martinique en 1925, mort à Washington en 1961, psychiatre et militant anticolonialiste, a laissé une oeuvre qui, un demi-siècle plus tard, conserve une étonnante actualité et connaît un rayonnement croissant dans le monde entier. Méde-cin-chef à l´hôpital psychiatrique de Blida (Algérie) à partir de 1953, il est confronté aux effets de la situation de « déshumanisation systématisée » dont sont victimes les « indigènes ». Cela le conduit très vite à rejoindre le combat du Front de libération nationale qui a engagé en novembre 1954 la « guerre de libération » de l´Algérie. Deux ans plus tard, il démissionne de son poste et rejoint le FLN à Tunis, où il collabore au journal El Moudjahid, avant d´être emporté, le 6 décembre 1961, par une leucémie à l´âge de trente-six ans. Sa trajectoire fulgurante est marquée par la publication de trois livres majeurs : Peau noire, masques blancs (Seuil, 1952), L´An V de la révolution algérienne (Maspero, 1959), Les Damnés de la terre (Maspero, 1961). Et en 1964, François Maspero publie un recueil de certains de ses textes politiques, sous le titre Pour la révolution africaine. Ce sont ces quatre ouvrages que réunit ce volume, complété par une préface de l´historien Achille Mbembe et une introduction de la philosophe Magali Bessone.

Psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary, Frantz Fanon is one of the most important intellectuals of the twentieth century. He presented powerful critiques of racism, colonialism, and nationalism in his classic books, Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and The Wretched of the Earth (1961). This biography reintroduces Fanon for a new generation of readers, revisiting these enduring themes while also arguing for those less appreciated--namely, his anti-Manichean sensibility and his personal ethic of radical empathy, both of which underpinned his utopian vision of a new humanism. Written with clarity and passion, Christopher J. Lee's account ultimately argues for the pragmatic idealism of Frantz Fanon and his continued importance today.

This is a biography of Frantz Fanon. It presents an absorbing and careful ac­ count of several impressive themes. First is the review and assessment of Fanon's life. Second is a theory of psychology, by the author, which will aug­ ment and prove useful to theorists and practitioners who focus on Third World people. And lastly there is a broad and systematic integration of many areas of scholarship including philosophy, anthropology, political science, history, so­ ciology, mythology, public health, and economics. Bulhan's writing is lucid, creative, and persuasive. It demonstrates that all these scholarly areas must be handled with erudition in order to build a baseline for understanding both Fanon and the psychology of oppression. Readers of Fanon will be familiar with the psychology of oppression which he presented so forcefully. How life events and experiences led to the formula­ tion of this psychology is the chief emphasis of the author. Yet the book also gives scintillating clinical proof that Fanon made many other significant con­ tributions to his field. He was an outstanding and dedicated physician as well as a philosopher and political activist.

Few figures loom as large in the intellectual history of revolution and postcolonialism than Frantz Fanon. An intellectual who devoted his life to activism, he utilized his deep knowledge of psychology and philosophy in the service of the movement for democratic participation and political sovereignty in his native Martinique and around the world.   With FranzFanon, Peter Hudis presents a penetrating critical biography of the activist’s life and work. Countering the prevailing belief that Fanon’s contributions to modern thought can be wholly defined by an advocacy of violence, Hudis presents his work instead as an integrated whole, showing that its nuances—and thus its importance—can only be appreciated in light of Fanon’s efforts to fuse philosophical theory and actual practice. By taking seriously Fanon’s philosophical and psychological contributions, as well as his political activism, Hudis presents a powerful and perceptive new view of the man and his achievement.   This brief, richly perceptive introduction to Fanon will give new force to his ideas, his life, and his example for people engaged in radical political theory and taking action against oppression around the world today.
