The "wretched of the earth " is a phrase from the Internationale. "Arise ye prisoners of starvation/ Arise ye WRETCHED OF THE EARTH."

But also, Fanon was explicitly a Marxist. John Paul Sartre, a semi-Marxist, was his intellectual comrade.

Dear LBOers,

Does anyone know in how far Frantz Fanon was influenced by Marx when he wrote his book "The Wretched of the Earth"?

Warm regards Sven Buttler
