The Political Writings from Alienation and Freedom cover

The first English translation of key political writings of Frantz Fanon many of which were previously thought to be inaccessible or lost

Frantz Fanon’s political impact is difficult to overestimate. His anti-colonialist, philosophical and revolutionary writings were among the most influential of the 20th century. The essays, articles and notes published in this volume cover the most politically active period of his life and encapsulate the breadth, depth and urgency of his writings. In particular, they clarify and amplify his much-debated views on violent resistance. These works provide new complexity to our understanding of Fanon and reveal just how relevant his thinking is to the contemporary world and how important his ideas are to changing it.

Fanon’s writings, some of the most intense political writing of the century, reflect the turmoil of his moment and seek a way out through a series of provisional and historically specific solutions … What The Political Writings shows is the range of problems and solutions faced by one of the great leftists of the 20th century. * Los Angeles Review of Books *
