The influence of Frantz Fanon,
firebrand philosopher of the Third
World. Movement, marks him as
the Lenin of the second half of the
20th Century.
Fanon died in 1961, and much
of his life is still shrouded; yet,
through many interviews collected
in the highly varied worlds of
Fanon's life — Martinique, Lyons,
Algeria, Tunis—Peter Geismar has

of Frantz Fanon with digressions
into his personal life only when
they clarify his writings, politics,
or medical career.
