Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon (1925–1961) was a Martinique-born psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary thinker who analyzed the psychological effects of colonialism in works like Black Skin, White Masks (1952). He joined the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) during the independence struggle against France, serving as a propagandist and ambassador while critiquing colonial violence. Fanon died of leukemia in 1961, leaving a lasting legacy in postcolonial theory through books like The Wretched of the Earth.[1][2][3]
