Frantz Fanon
Frantz Fanon was a Martinican psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary who profoundly influenced postcolonial studies and decolonization movements.
His writings, including "Black Skin, White Masks" and "The Wretched of the Earth," examined the psychological effects of colonialism on both the colonized and colonizers.
Fanon's work combined his psychiatric training with philosophical and political analysis, offering insights into racial identity, cultural alienation, and the struggle for liberation.
His ideas inspired anti-colonial movements worldwide and continue to shape discussions on race, identity, and social justice.
Fanon's legacy as a thinker and activist remains significant in understanding the psychological dimensions of oppression and the path to decolonization.
