Writings on alienation and freedom, by Frantz Fanon, Texts collected, introduced and presented by Jean Khalfa and Robert Young
The work of Frantz Fanon, psychiatrist and anti-colonialist activist who died prematurely in 1961 at the age of thirty-six, has since marked generations of anti-colonialists, civil rights activists and specialists in postcolonial studies. Since the publication of his books (Black Skin, White Masks, 1952; Year V of the Algerian Revolution, 1959; The Wretched of the Earth, 1961), we knew that many of his writings remained unpublished or inaccessible. In particular his psychiatric writings, including those devoted to “colonialist alienation seen through mental illness” (in the words of his editor François Maspero).
This material constitutes the heart of the present volume, established and presented following a patient work of collection and a long research by Jean Khalfa and Robert JC Young. The reader will find there the scientific articles published by Fanon, his thesis of psychiatry, as well as certain unpublished and texts published in the internal newspaper of the hospital of Blida-Joinville where he practiced from 1953 to 1956. One will also find there two plays written during his medical studies (L'Œil se noie and Les Mains paralleles), the correspondence that has been found as well as certain texts published in El Moudjahid after 1958, not included in Pour la Révolution africaine (1964). This remarkable collection is completed by the correspondence that François Maspero and the writer Giovanni Pirelli had exchanged for a project to publish the complete works of Fanon, as well as by the reasoned analysis of the latter's library.
The publication of these Écrits sur l'alienation et la liberté constitutes a real editorial event, by the new look they allow to take on the thought of Fanon as much as by their still current scope, in the psychiatric field as in the political field.
