He was \u003ci\u003ethe \u003c\/i\u003eintellectual activist of the postcolonial era, and his writings about race, revolution, and the psychology of power continue to shape radical movements across the world. In this searching biography, Adam Shatz tells the story of Fanon's stunning journey, which has all the twists of a Cold War-era thriller. Fanon left his modest home in Martinique to fight in the French Army during World War II; when the war was over, he fell under the influence of Existentialism while studying medicine in Lyon and trying to make sense of his experiences as a Black man in a white city. Fanon went on to practice a novel psychiatry of \"dis-alienation\" in rural France and Algeria, and then join the Algerian independence struggle, where he became a spokesman, diplomat, and clandestine strategist. He died in 1961, while under the care of the CIA in a Maryland hospital. Today, Fanon's \u003ci\u003eBlack Skin, White Masks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wretched of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e have become canonical texts of the Black and global radical imagination, comparable to James Baldwin's essays in their influence. And yet they are little understood. In \u003ci\u003eThe Rebel's Clinic\u003c\/i\u003e, Shatz offers a dramatic reconstruction of Fanon's extraordinary life--and a guide to the books that underlie today's most vital efforts to challenge white supremacy and racial capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes 8 pages of black-and-white photographs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374176426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Adam Shatz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43361405632693,"sku":"9780374176426","price":27.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_53e10a02-590e-4e1b-8bcf-d87df1fc3f45.jpg?v=1701189602","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-rebels-clinic-the-revolutionary-lives-of-frantz-fanon-9780374176426","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
