The first English translation of Alienation and Freedom, the only remaining unpublished works by major 20th-century writer Frantz Fanon
Since the publication of The Wretched of the Earth in 1961, Fanon´s work has been deeply significant for generations of intellectuals and activists from the 60s to the present day.

Alienation and Freedom collects together unpublished works comprising around half of his entire output - which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost. This book introduces audiences to a new Fanon, a more personal Fanon and one whose literary and psychiatric works, in particular, take centre stage. These writings provide new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon´s entire oeuvre revealing more of his powerful thinking about identity, race and activism which remain remarkably prescient. Shedding new light on the work of a major 20th-century philosopher, this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.
This is history happening in real time and at ground level ... An important book. The editors have performed a great service to present and future generations of ´Fanonistes´ by assembling these texts with forensic care. Literary Review
