"FANON'S 'Wretched of the Earth' helped to ignite the global explosion against Western colonialism, and marked a major turning-point in the growing self-awareness of the Third World. In this book he focuses attention upon one typical liberation struggle, and shows how guerrillas, by resisting oppression, define themselves and create a new kind of society.

"I had to read this book for a class I took, and it was hard to get through. I'm planning to reread it eventually and see if my aversion to it was due to it being required reading, or if it really was as bad as I thought it was."
"I really like how Fanon uses psychology for liberatory means. I also enjoyed the accounts from white folks who were involved in the struggle against colonialism."
"A wonderful collection of Fanon's essays in the Algerian National Liberation Front's newspaper during the height of the anticolonial war against France. It spans the time in between Black Skin White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth. Much weaker on theory, either psychoanalytic or political, but much richer historically. A lot of direct commentary on the French left at the time, the Third World movement, and continent-wide African politics in the 50s. Very readable."
"I didnt think that after reading a book about the algerian revolution, that id want to immediately read it again. i didnt, but the accounts of people at the time, particularly how algerian women dealt with rapidly changing cultural identity, are interesting enough to want to do so."
