# Alienation and Freedom - Hardcover

by **Frantz Fanon** (Author), **Jean Khalfa** (Editor), **Robert J. C. Young** (Editor)

Since the publication of _The Wretched of the Earth_ in 1961, Fanon's work has been deeply significant for generations of intellectuals and activists from the 60s to the present day.

_Alienation and Freedom_ collects together unpublished works comprising around half of his entire output - which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost. This book introduces audiences to a new Fanon, a more personal Fanon and one whose literary and psychiatric works, in particular, take centre stage. These writings provide new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon's entire oeuvre revealing more of his powerful thinking about identity, race and activism which remain remarkably prescient. Shedding new light on the work of a major 20th-century philosopher, this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.
