Abstract:Fifty years ago, the Paris-based Maspero published Frantz Fanon's last work, 'Les damnés de la terre', a book that achieved an almost biblical status and became a cornerstone of postcolonial thought. Last year saw the publication of Fanon's 'Oeuvres' by La Découverte. This article explores the meanings of Fanon and the metamorphic nature of his thought. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.
