Frantz Fanon known as Ibrahim Frantz Fanon, was a French West Indian psychiatrist and political philosopher from the French colony of Martinique, whose works are influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory and Marxism. As well as being an intellectual, Fanon was a political radical, Pan-Africanist, Marxist humanist concerned with the psychopathology of colonization and the human and cultural consequences of decolonization. In the course of his work as a physician and psychiatrist, Fanon supported the Algerian War of Independence from France and was a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front. For more than five decades, the life and works of Frantz Fanon have inspired national liberation movements and other radical political organizations in Palestine, Sri Lanka, South Africa, the United States, he formulated a model for community psychology, believing that many mental health patients would do better if they were integrated into their family and community instead of being treated with institutionalized care.

He helped found the field of institutional psychotherapy while working at Saint-Alban under Francois Tosquelles and Jean Oury. In What Fanon Said: A Philosophical Introduction To His Life And Thought, Lewis R. Gordon remarked that Fanon's contributions to the history of ideas are manifold, he is influential not only because of the originality of his thought but because of the astuteness of his criticisms. He developed a profound social existential analysis of antiblack racism, which led him to identify conditions of skewed rationality and reason in contemporary discourses on the human being. Fanon published numerous books, including The Wretched of the Earth; this influential work focuses on what he believes is the necessary role of violence by activists in conducting decolonization struggles. Frantz Fanon was born on the Caribbean island of Martinique, a French colony and is now a French single territorial collectivity, his father, Félix Casimir Fanon, was a descendant of African slaves and indentured Indians, worked as a customs agent.

His mother, Eléanore Médélice, was of Afro-Martinician and white Alsatian descent, worked as a shopkeeper. Frantz was the third of four sons in a family of eight children. Two of them died young, including his sister Gabrielle with whom Frantz was close, his family was socio-economically middle-class. They could afford the fees for the Lycée Schoelcher, at the time the most prestigious high school in Martinique, where Fanon came to admire one of the school's teachers and writer Aimé Césaire. Fanon left Martinique in 1943. After France fell to the Nazis in 1940, Vichy French naval troops were blockaded on Martinique. Forced to remain on the island, French sailors took over the government from the Martiniquan people and established a collaborationist Vichy regime. In the face of economic distress and isolation under the blockade, they instituted an oppressive regime. Residents made many complaints of harassment and sexual misconduct by the sailors; the abuse of the Martiniquan people by the French Navy influenced Fanon, reinforcing his feelings of alienation and his disgust with colonial racism.

At the age of seventeen, Fanon fled the island as a "dissident", traveling to British-controlled Dominica to join the Free French Forces. He joined an Allied convoy that reached Casablanca, he was transferred to an army base at Béjaïa on the Kabylie coast of Algeria. Fanon served in France, notably in the battles of Alsace. In 1944 he received the Croix de guerre; when the Nazis were defeated and Allied forces crossed the Rhine into Germany along with photo journalists, Fanon's regiment was "bleached" of all non-white soldiers. Fanon and his fellow Afro-Caribbean soldiers were sent to Toulon, they were transferred to Normandy to await repatriation. During the war, Fanon was exposed to more white European racism. For example, European women liberated by black soldiers preferred to dance with fascist Italian prisoners, rather than fraternize with their liberators. In 1945, Fanon returned to Martinique, he lasted a short time there. He worked for the parliamentary campaign of his friend and mentor Aimé Césaire, who would be a major influence in his life.

Césaire ran on the communist ticket as a parliamentary delegate from Martinique to the first National Assembly of the Fourth Republic. Fanon stayed long enough to complete his baccalaureate and went to France, where he studied medicine and psychiatry. Fanon was educated in Lyon, where he studied literature and philosophy, sometimes attending Merleau-Ponty's lectures. During this period, he wrote three plays. After qualifying as a psychiatrist in 1951, Fanon did a residency in psychiatry at Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole under the radical Catalan psychiatrist François Tosquelles, who invigorated Fanon's thinking by emphasizing the role of culture in psychopathology. After his residency, Fanon practised psychiatry at Pontorson, near Mont Saint-Michel, for another year and in Algeria, he was chef de service at the Blida–Joinville Psychiatric Hospital in Algeria. He worked there until being deported in January 1957. In France while completing his residency, Fanon wrote and published his first book, Black Skin, White Masks, an analysis of the negative psychological effects of colonial subjugation upon black people.
