Foucault and Fanon Overlap of Ideas

Introduction

Within the literature genre, there is the prevalence of idea overlapping. This scenario happens when the idea structure of one author tends to correlate with the structure of ideas by another person. As such, these two contributors seem to share a common ideology even with the fact that they may be based from different timelines and societies. The Wretch of the Earth is a book written by Frantz Fanon in 1961. It includes a psychologic and psychiatric investigation of colonial dehumanization on a nation as well as the native citizens.
