[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [b]NO ONE BOTHERED TO INTRODUCE THE YOUNGSTERS TO FANON.[/b] Frantz Omar Fanon 20 July 1925 – 6 December 1961) was a Martinique born Afro-Caribbean Medical Doctor, Psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary, and writer whose works are influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory, and Marxism. As an intellectual, Fanon was a political radical, Pan-Africanist, and Marxist humanist concerned with the psychopathology of colonization, and the human, social, and cultural consequences of decolonization. [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0f/Frantz_Fanon.jpg[/IMG] In the course of his work as a physician and psychiatrist, Fanon supported the Algerian War of Independence from France, and was a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front. For more than five decades, the life and works of Frantz Fanon have inspired national liberation movements and other radical political organizations in Palestine, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and the United States. In What Fanon Said: A Philosophical Introduction To His Life And Thought, leading Africana scholar and contemporary philosopher Lewis R. Gordon remarked that "Fanon's contributions to the history of ideas are manifold. He is influential not only because of the originality of his thought but also because of the astuteness of his criticisms...He developed a profound social existential analysis of antiblack racism, which led him to identify conditions of skewed rationality and reason in contemporary discourses on the human being." He wrote numerous books, including The Wretched of the Earth. The Wretched of the Earth focused on the necessary role Fanon thinks violence must play in decolonization struggles. The point he is trying to get across is that violence is needed in order to colonize a nation. No nation has been colonized peacefully or without a revolt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
