"Psychiatrist and revolutionary Frantz Fanon (1925?1961) fought to free Algeria from French rule, and wrote several key texts on colonialism."
"Wideman's fascinating new novel weaves together fiction, biography, and memoir to evoke the life and message of Frantz Fanon, the influential author of The Wretched of the Earth. A philosopher, psychiatrist, and political activist, Fanon was a fierce, acute critic of racism and oppression. Born of African descent in Martinique in 1927, Fanon fought to defend France during World War II and then later against France in Algeria's war for independence. The Wretched of the Earth, written in 1961, inspired leaders of liberation movements from Steve Biko in South Africa to Che Guevera to the Black Panthers in the United States."
"A fictional portrait of Frantz Fanon, a philosopher and political activist, chronicles Fanon's life, from his Martinique upbringing through the publication of his influential work, as seen through the eyes of the African-American novelist writing his biography."
