The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon 1968 Seventh Printing

The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon

Seventh Printing | Published 1968
Translated by Constance Farrington | Preface by Jean-Paul Sartre

Condition: Good
A solid copy in good condition — binding intact, pages complete with the expected toning and light wear consistent with a well-read copy of its era.  A presentable and collectable edition, with written text inside front cover which has indent marks to top right corner.

One of the most important and influential works of political philosophy of the twentieth century. First published in French in 1961 as Les Damnés de la Terre, Fanon's searing analysis of colonialism, decolonisation, and the psychology of the oppressed remains as urgent and widely studied today as when it was written. This 1968 printing — with Sartre's celebrated preface — belongs to the period when the book was at the height of its global influence, widely read by liberation movements across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

A significant piece for collectors of post-colonial literature, political thought, African studies, or twentieth-century radical history.
