The Wretched of the Earth (French: Les Damnés de la Terre) is a 1961 book by the psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, in which the author provides a psychological and psychiatric analysis of the dehumanizing effects of colonization upon the individual and the nation, and discusses the broader social, cultural, and political implications of establishing a social movement for the decolonization of a person and of a people. The French-language title derives from the opening lyrics of "The Internationale".
On the violence in colonizing and decolonizing; on nationalist and authoritarian dangers in bourgeoisie decolonization that is not decentralized nor built on building power of the state from within the oppressed classes; on the psychological harms to all sides in fighting and repression. An understandable classic.
