This is the first time Sartre's classic work on colonialism has been made available in English. First published in French in 1964, it is a classic critique of France's policies in Algeria in the 1950s and 1960s and inspired much subsequent writing on colonialism, post-colonialism, politics, and literature. It had an important impact on the conduct of the Algerian war itself, and the break up of the French colonial empire cannot be understood without reference to this key text.Colonialism and Neo-Colonialism is famous also for its controversial call for the use of violence in achieving political ends. It includes Sartre's celebrated preface to Fanon's classic Wretched of the Earth . Colonialism and Neo-Colonialism had a profound impact on French intellectual life, inspiring many other influential French thinkers and critics of colonialism such as Jean-Francois Lyotard, Frantz Fanon, Pierre Bourdieu and Jacques Derrida.
