French psychiatrist and essayist born in Martinique, Frantz Fanon was heavily involved in the struggle for the independence of Algeria where he is buried.

He is one of the founders of the Third Worldist current of thought, a standard-bearer in the international struggle for solidarity between oppressed “brothers”.

On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of his death, the documentary "Frantz Fanon, trajectory of a rebel" broadcast on France 5, this Sunday, November 7, 2021, and of which we have one of the co-authors, Mathieu Glissant, shows that Frantz Fanon's literary production remains a benchmark in many countries.
