The Wretched of the Earth

Frantz Fanon1961

A major anti-colonial intellectual-history text; rights and editions pending verification, no local full text.

Three questions

  • How does the text explain international relations under capitalism?
  • What place do colonies, semi-colonies, or oppressed nations hold in the argument?
  • What does it suggest for understanding supply chains, finance, or war today?

Common misreading

Do not treat imperialism only as foreign policy; it often points to structural relations in the capitalist world system.
