Trade Review“Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.” - Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth.“Christopher Lee has written a delightfully compelling introduction to the works, life and times of Frantz Fanon. Well-researched and thoroughly grounded, Lee’s study admirably situates Fanon in the broadest historical context, while subtly explaining Fanon’s powerful legacy today. This book taught me many things, revealing in intriguing ways the works of a black thinker from Martinique who so passionately embraced the Algerian Revolution, and so ardently desired to be embraced by it. - Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University
