The Psychiatric Writings from Alienation and Freedom, Paperback / softback Book

The Psychiatric Writings from Alienation and Freedom Paperback / softback

Edited by Jean (Trinity College, Cambridge, UK) Khalfa, Professor Robert J. C. (Professor of English, New York University, USA) Young

Paperback / softback

Description

Frantz Fanon’s psychiatric career was crucial to his thinking as an anti-colonialist writer and activist.

Much of his iconic work was shaped by his experiences working in hospitals in France, Algeria and Tunisia.

The writing collected here was written from 1951 to 1960 in tandem with his political work and reveals much about how Fanon’s thought developed, showing that, for him, psychiatry was part of a much wider socio-political struggle.

His political, revolutionary and literary lives should not then be separated from the psychiatric practice and writings that shaped his thinking about oppression, alienation and the search for freedom.
