Book Description:
|
The revolutionary and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was a foundational figure in postcolonial thought and practice, yet his medical work has only been seriously studied in recent years - and then only in French. Now available in English, the pieces collected here show how Fanon's radical psychiatry was directly related to his philosophy and politics.
