The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Life of Frantz Fanon
The Martinican psychiatrist who treated torturers and their victims in Algeria, then wrote the century most influential account of colonial violence.
Fanon was a Martinican psychiatrist who treated both torturers and their victims in Algeria before writing the century most influential account of colonial violence. Shatz keeps the clinician and the revolutionary in the same frame, which is what most accounts fail to do, and is careful about how selectively Fanon has since been read.

Well-written and well-organized, this checks all the boxes for what I would want from a Fanon biography.
