Read Fanon
Edit: This is a joke based on your name, nothing more, please don't hurt me
You know, it's the darnedest thing. I've gone to recommend some books to people and Fanon has come up a couple of times but I feel really sheepish about suggesting his stuff under this username because it all feels a bit... gauche.
That really wasn't the intended outcome when I picked this username lol.
I'm reading his work right now.
It's stuff you've, err, kinda heard before (at least his first book, The Wretched of the Earth).
I think it's because a lot of people are already familiar with Marxist or decolonization politics that, sometimes at least, books written, say, during the 50s or 60s, like the book I mentioned was, tend to regurgitate stuff we may already know.
But hey, I'll be sure to move on to Fanon's next two books that I have in queue.
