Wretched of the Earth (The Wretched of the Earth)

*The Wretched of the Earth*, written by Frantz Fanon, is a book that explores the psychological and social effects of colonization on both colonized people and oppressors. It argues that colonization dehumanizes both groups and calls for decolonization through active resistance and revolutionary change. Fanon emphasizes the importance of national liberation and the need for formerly oppressed peoples to reclaim their identity and sovereignty. The book is a foundational work in anti-colonial struggles, highlighting how systemic domination affects mental health, culture, and society, and urging oppressed communities to fight for emancipation and self-determination.
