Abstract

This article aims to analyze the section Political Writings of the book Alienation and Freedom , collection of writings by Frantz Fanon. The book is a collection of documents that were part of a particular geographic and historical context affected by colonization, but that was transformed by anti-colonial actions. The purpose of this article is the analysis of several of Fanon's political writings, with special emphasis on those published in the El Moudjahid periodical . The central argument is to show how through these writings Fanon shows a constancy in what was his thought about what it means to be an action being .
