He was a doctor from a tiny Caribbean island, and his words helped shake empires loose on the other side of the world. 🌍
Frantz Fanon was born in Fort de France, Martinique, in 1925. He trained as a psychiatrist in France, then took charge of a hospital in Blida, Algeria, where he treated both the colonized and the colonizers and saw firsthand what oppression does to the human mind. What he learned there he poured into books like Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, writing that went on to guide freedom movements from Africa to the Caribbean to the streets of America. ✊🏾
He died young, only 36, in 1961, but his ideas outlived him by generations. He gave people a language for dignity, for identity, and for the long walk out from under someone else's boot. 📖
