<div><p>Psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary, Frantz Fanon is one of the most important intellectuals of the twentieth century. He presented powerful critiques of racism, colonialism, and nationalism in his classic books, <i>Black Skin, White Masks</i> (1952) and <i>The Wretched of the Earth</i> (1961). This biography reintroduces Fanon for a new generation of readers, revisiting these enduring themes while also arguing for those less appreciated-namely, his anti-Manichean sensibility and his personal ethic of radical empathy, both of which underpinned his utopian vision of a new humanism. Written with clarity and passion, Christopher J. Lee''s account ultimately argues for the pragmatic idealism of Frantz Fanon and his continued importance today.</p></div>
