Hello everybody and welcome back to Red Menace.

So on today's episode we are finishing our series on France Fanon's The Wretched

of the Earth and recovering his two concluding chapters, one on colonial war and mental disorders

and then one just titled Conclusion.

As always if you like what we do here at Red Menace, you can support us by supporting

our Patreon and in exchange when you get bonus monthly episodes, last month's episode

I was really happy with, we actually watched the movie The Battle of Algiers and we talked

about it, discussed it, applied the text to it, etc. and I really had a great time with

that episode.

So definitely if you like what we do and you have a few extra dollars laying around, you

want to support us, you do get bonus content in exchange.

So I don't really want to do anything else as far as preambles.

Let's just go ahead and get into these last couple chapters of France Fanon's The Wretched

of the Earth.

Alison, take it away.

We're going to talk about this last chapter which is a little bit different than the chapters

that we've discussed so far and it's worth sort of giving some introduction in terms of

what's happening in this chapter.

So while our previous chapters have kind of been focused on the more macro scale development

of colonization, decolonization and then independence, Fanon turns in a really different

direction here and he moves towards looking at sort of case studies of mental illness in

the context of colonialism that he saw firsthand.
