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.
