Two by the Martiniquais postcolonial philosopher, each bookending his brief career. Black Skin, White Masks was drafted as a dissertation—later rejected—while a student at Lyon, where he attended lectures by Merleau-Ponty and experienced ongoing racism. And The Wretched of the Earth, written while Fanon was treated for leukemia in both the Soveiet Union and the US, recounts the anger and paradoxes he encountered as a psychiatrist treating Algerian torture victims and the French soldiers and officers who had tortured them.
