The first of the 3 evenings reading group: The Wretched of the Earth by Franz Fanon.
Organized by Internationale Socialisten Utrecht

Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence from French colonial rule and first published in 1961, Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth has provided inspiration for anti-colonial movements ever since, analysing the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. With power and anger, Fanon makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. It was Fanon, himself a psychotherapist, who exposed the connection between colonial war and mental disease, who showed how the fight for freedom must be combined with building a national culture, and who showed the way ahead, through revolutionary violence, to socialism.The book remains very relevant in understanding modern struggles for justice and ongoing neocolonialism.
