内容简介

A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classic alongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and it is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earth is a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized and their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage and frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence in effecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twin perils of post independence colonial politics: the disenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, and intertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon's analysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leaders of emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in the corruption and violence that has plagued present-day Africa. The Wretched of the Earth has had a major impact on civil rights, anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the world, and this bold new translation by Richard Philcox reaffirms it as a landmark.

作者简介

弗朗兹·法农(1925－1961)是精神病医师和作家，他曾认为暴力革命是第三世界结束殖民压迫和文化创伤的惟一途径。其著作《黑皮肤，白面具》、《全世界受苦的人》、《为了非洲革命》、《阿尔及利亚革命的第五年》等，被认为是有关二十世纪五六十年代黑人解放斗争的经典著述，并对美国和欧洲的激进运动产生深刻影响。该书从法国有色人的精神迷惘和由此导致的精神痛苦入手，披露长期的殖民统治在他们心理上留下的伤痛。但事实上，这种文化心理伤痛并非只留存在法国有色人心中，这种伤痛是后殖民时代普遍的世界现象。“一部复杂而有原创力的著作，在今日有关种族主义本质的所有讨论中，仍然是至为关键的文本。
