Wretched of the Earth, The

The definitive, original English translation by Constance Farrington.

First published in 1961, Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth offers a powerful exploration of race, colonialism, and the psychological impact of oppression. This seminal text has inspired generations of revolutionaries and activists, influencing movements from decolonization struggles in the Global South to Black Lives Matter. As a cornerstone of civil rights, anti-colonialism, and Black consciousness studies, Fanon’s most celebrated work stands alongside such essential texts as Edward Said’s Orientalism and The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

This audiobook is masterfully read by Aaron Goodson with audio engineering by Mike Thal. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
