The Plays from Alienation and Freedom

by Frantz Fanon

First published 2020

A laborer's strike turns into a deadly clash with colonial authorities. A woman grapples with her divided loyalties. These intense, unsettling plays from Frantz Fanon lay bare the psychological wounds of oppression. Fanon's characters confront the stark choices forced upon them by colonial domination: assimilate or resist, surrender or rebel. Their actions seethe with the weight of history and the ache of personal identity.
