"The Wretched of the Earth" is a book written by Frantz Fanon, a psychiatrist and philosopher from Martinique. Published in 1961, it explores the psychological and political effects of colonialism on both colonizers and the colonized. Fanon argues that decolonization is a violent process that requires the oppressed to reclaim their identity and agency. The book emphasizes the importance of national consciousness and unity among the colonized people. Fanon discusses the role of violence in achieving liberation and critiques the post-colonial leadership that fails to address the needs of the masses. His work has influenced various movements for social justice and anti-colonial struggles worldwide.
