Frantz Fanon
Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was a Martinican psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary, known for his influential works on decolonization and the psychological effects of colonialism, particularly his seminal texts 'Black Skin, White Masks' and 'The Wretched of the Earth'. He served as the head of the psychiatry department at the Blida-Joinville Hospital in Algeria during the 1950s, where he developed innovative approaches to mental health care that challenged colonial and racist ideologies.
