So, This Was A Lot: The Wretched of The Earth- Colonial War and Mental Disorders


Listen Later

This week, we have a Name of the Week extravaganza before getting into the final chapter of Wretched of the Earth- Colonial War and Mental Disorders! 

It's a toughie, and we go talk pretty generally about the contents of the chapter, which includes brief discussions of sexual violence and torture. As always, we recommend that you read the book, but take this one carefully! It's a really valuable read but one that needs to be given space for whatever emotional responses that come up. We don't go into many specific details, so if you want to know more about the really fascinating cast studies Fanon references, you can read his work! 

We talk about race science and mental health oppression, colonisation, masculinity and sexual violence, and Orville Peck.
