On 6 December 2011, 50 years will have passed since the death of Frantz Fanon. Born in 1925 in the French colony of Martinique, Fanon's personal experiences of everyday life under colonialism would yield two of the most influential texts in anti-colonial revolutionary thought: Black Skin, White Masks (1952), and The Wretched of the Earth (1961). Symposium Rationale Frantz Fanon is today one of the most widely known and influential Caribbean born theorists and revolutionary activists.
