About this ebook

Psychiatrist and anti-colonial activist Frantz Fanon was long censored in France for his fight against racism, xenophobia, indignity and alienation, at a time when these subjects were taboo.

More than fifty years after his death, his thought still resonates at the heart of our political and societal issues. But who was this man? Why are we still so concerned by his struggle?

This essay offers a new reading of his career, articulating the right to rebellion in the face of a new colonization that doesn’t say its name: globalization.
