A Dying Colonialism by Frantz Fanon

4.0

You who are so liberal, so humane, who take the love of culture to the point of affectation, you pretend to forget that you have colonies where massacres are committed in your name.” -Jean-Paul Sartre

Fanon’s riveting breakdown of the Algerian revolt against French colonization, published in 1959–a full three years before the signing of the Évian Accords.

Frantz Fannon was himself a member of Algeria’s National Liberation Front, Front de libération nationale FLN, and his accounting is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in Algerian history specifically or anti-colonialism in general.
