Frantz Fanon

Born on the French Caribbean island of Martinique, Frantz Fanon was a polymath who managed to pack several lifetimes' worth of critical thought and revolutionary action into his relatively short 36 years. He served in the French army during WWII, then trained as a psychiatrist, and ultimately became a prominent intellectual voice for liberation movements worldwide.

Fanon’s magnum opus, "Black Skin, White Masks," delved into the deep psychological impact of colonization on the colonized. Later, in "The Wretched of the Earth," he argued for the necessity of violent decolonization. Not exactly light beach reading, but certainly influential.

Despite his profound insights into identity and oppression, Fanon maintained precisely zero connection to the Tribe. His family was Afro-Caribbean, his education French, and his revolutionary spirit distinctly secular. He did, however, understand what it meant to be an outsider, which, let's face it, is practically a Jewish prerequisite.
