Negative Positive
Title: Great book, terrible translation
Review: Frantz Fanon was a lucid writer with a knack for turning a phrase. Philcox butchers Fanon and strips his words of their power. Do yourself a favor and buy the earlier translation by Constance Farrington. It is the next best thing to learning french and reading Fanon's words in the language in which they were written.
