In the era of Black Lives Matter, Frantz Fanon's shadow looms larger than ever. He was the intellectual activist of the postcolonial era, and his writings about race, revolution, and the psychology of power continue to shape radical movements across the world. In this searching biography, Adam Shatz tells the story of Fanon's stunning journey, which has all the twists of a Cold War-era thriller.

Brilliant book, unbearable narration
Revisado: 03-18-25
As a French speaker, listening to the narration of this book was so painful as to force me to put it down, despite my great interest in its subject matter. It is one thing for an English speaker to pronounce French words with an English accent; it is another thing altogether for an English speaker to fail to use even the standard English pronunciation of French words. These pronunciation issues are not limited to words of foreign derivation; the narrator trips over the pronunciation of plenty of English words as well. Overall, the cadence and articulation of the narration are so unnatural and stuffy as to hinder the listener’s understanding. Adam Shatz is a brilliant writer and cultural critic, and the narrator’s performance is a shameful disservice to his work.
