Fanon (Frantz Fanon)

Frantz Fanon was a psychiatrist and thinker from Martinique who studied the effects of colonization and racism on individuals and societies. He argued that colonial systems dehumanize both the oppressed and the oppressors, leading to psychological trauma and social injustice. Fanon promoted the idea that oppressed peoples must actively resist and overthrow colonial powers to reclaim their identity and freedom. His work influenced liberation movements worldwide and emphasized the importance of psychological healing and cultural pride in the journey toward independence and equality.
