DSA Reading Group: The Wretched of The Earth

This month in our reading group we'll be discussing Frantz Fanon's landmark text on colonialism, The Wretched of The Earth. Fanon was a psychiatrist, philosopher, and Algerian revolutionary whose writings have inspired anti-colonialist and anti-racist struggles all over the world. The Wretched of The Earth focuses in particular on the psychological impacts that racism and colonialism have, both on the individuals that participate or are impacted, and on the society as a whole. He also writes about the importance of letting the most marginalized groups take the lead in any struggle for liberation.
