Episode Synopsis

The main event of the twentieth century was the anti-colonial revolution. Fanon says that war is the normal catalyst of social change; but his psychiatric case studies shows that war is humanly insupportable. Brilliant writing on the class struggle, nationalism, the successor elite and culture.
Frantz Fanon The Wretched of the Earth (1961)
