Since the publication of The Wretched of the Earth in 1961 Fanon's work has been deeply
significant for generations of intellectuals and activists from the 60s to the present day.
Alienation and Freedom collects together unpublished works comprising around half of his entire
output - which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost. This book introduces
audiences to a new Fanon a more personal Fanon and one whose literary and psychiatric works
in particular take centre stage. These writings provide new depth and complexity to our
understanding of Fanon's entire oeuvre revealing more of his powerful thinking about identity
race and activism which remain remarkably prescient. Shedding new light on the work of a major
20th-century philosopher this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.
