Overview

• The Museum am Rothenbaum has opened a four-part centenary series examining Fanon’s career as a psychiatrist, revolutionary and FLN diplomat.
• Curators have determined that the most famous calls to violence in The Wretched of the Earth derive from Jean-Paul Sartre’s foreword, not Fanon’s own text.
• Upcoming sessions on July 24 and September 4 will feature scholars Eric Otieno Sumba and Vanessa E. Thompson discussing decolonization and universal values.
• The program spotlights Fanon’s synthesis of Marxist analysis and Freudian psychoanalysis to explore how colonialism shapes both societies and individual subjectivity.
• Centenary exhibitions and updated biographies seek to move beyond one-dimensional myths and underscore Fanon’s commitment to anticolonial universalism.
