Today Frantz Fanon (1925–1961) has been awarded recognition by scholars from the sphere of post-colonial studies for the originality of his thinking, his vision of the future, and the discursive courage of his perspective on colonization. In his book The Wretched of the Earth, whose history and exchange of ideas were linked with perhaps the greatest French intellectual of the day, Jean-Paul Sartre, made it more visible than Black Skin, White Masks, his first book written when he was 25 years old. Fanon’s brilliant ability to analyze the colonized world, through the colonized man’s point of view and his foresight, made him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. The aim of this paper is to explore the historical significance and the theoretical and political strength of Fanon’s thought today and the seminal paths of his work in post-colonial studies.
