Frantz Fanon's last book, published in France in 1961 with a preface by Jean-Paul Sartre. It analyses colonisation, especially in Algeria and Africa, through psychiatry, politics, culture and history: its effects on colonised people and nations, the role of violence in the struggle for independence, and the risk that afterwards an elite shuts out the majority. It is also a call to the Third World to decolonise.

Who it's for
For readers of political thought, the history of decolonisation and postcolonial studies. It is a demanding text, and its defence of violence, which Sartre's preface pushes even further, is best read in its context.
Why people still read it
It spread quickly, partly thanks to Sartre's preface, and is seen as a forerunner of postcolonial studies; it influenced civil rights, anticolonial and black consciousness movements. Julieta Campos translated it into Spanish in 1963.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
