Frantz Fanon

I recently ordered two great reads by Frantz Franon: Toward the African Revolution & The Wretched of the Earth. Today I received Toward the African Revolution. Excited about this read, longing to be transformed mentally & consciously as I delve deep into it. Also, because I am in the process of applying for Graduate School, I also feel it will be a good resource within the Educational Leadership field. There should be leadership ques I maybe able to pick up.

For those who are not familiar with Frantz Franon- Fanon was born in 1925, to a middle-class family in the French colony of Martinique. He left Martinique in 1943, when he volunteered to fight with the Free French in World War II, and he remained in France after the war to study medicine and psychiatry on scholarship in Lyon. Here he began writing political essays and plays, and he married a Frenchwoman, Jose Duble. Before he left France, Fanon had already published his first analysis of the effects of racism and colonization, Black Skin, White Masks (BSWM), originally titled "An Essay for the Disalienation of Blacks," in part based on his lectures and experiences in Lyon (http://www.english.emory.edu/Bahri/Fanon.html).

I will be sure to keep everyone posted about my new journey I am embraking on as I begin my new interesting and empowering read.
