Frantz Fanon is a key figure in postconial and cultural studies, who passionately identified with Algeria's struggle for independence against the French. Including extracts from Fanon's works, such as "Black Skin, White Masks" and "Studies in a Dying Colonialism", this introduction to his work is useful for those involved in post-colonial studies.

Haddour contextualises Fanon - the man and his work - and provides a comprehensive summary of critical perspectives on his writings. This fully rounded critical introduction to Fanon's work will appeal to students and teachers in post-colonial studies, cultural, political theory, psychanalysis, literary theory, race studies, and anyone interested in the life and writings of one of the world's most foremost pioneers of black liberation.
