One of Fanon's books was on the bibliography of one of my courses as a Government major at Harvard in the late 1960s. I do not remember which one but he was lauded as an authentic voice of the oppressed. That was a heady time for the young and idealistic among us. I was an adherent of Ghandi and MLK Jr in terms of believing that non-violent resistance was the way to go. I was suspicious of groups like the Black Panthers even before there was evidence of their murderous ways. Thanks for the background, Eli.
