The C.O.W.S. Frantz Fanon: The Wretched of the Earth Part 9 (Conclusion)

The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 9th and final study session on Frantz Fanon's 1961 "classic", The Wretched of the Earth. Born in Martinique in 1925, Fanon is an globally acclaimed psychiatrist who dedicated his 36 years of life to eradicating White terrorism. He battled for Algerian independence from French colonial domination and black liberation world wide. Fanon also penned Black Skin, White Mask, which is a psychoanalysis of the perversions and neurosis that infests sexual activity between Whites and black people. Interestingly, Fanon himself married a White woman. The writer and psychiatrist died from leukemia the same year The Wretched of the Earth was published; it's reported that Fanon's health degraded to the point that he dictated segments of the text to his White spouse. During Last week's session, Fanon reviewed case studies from different patients he treated during his psychiatric practice. He uses this cases to evidence how colonialism corrupts the health of black people. He spends time explaining how an Algerian freedom fighter reacted to his wife being raped by colonial soldiers. The sexual tyranny was a deliberate response to the husband's counter-terrorism work. Interestingly, Fanon also counseled Whites who terrorized and pillaged non-white people. He specifically recounts a European officer who hoped Fanon would help him torture Algerians without conscience. As we finish the book, we'll share final thoughts on why this book is so venerated. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
