==Influences==

[[Aimé Césaire]] was a particularly significant influence in Fanon's life. Césaire, a leader of the ''Négritude'' movement, was teacher and [[Mentorship|mentor]] to Fanon on the island of Martinique.<ref>''The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism'', second edition, 2010, p. 1438.</ref> Fanon was first introduced to ''Négritude'' during his lycée days in Martinique when Césaire coined the term and presented his ideas in ''[[Tropiques]]'', the journal that he edited with Suzanne Césaire, his wife, in addition to his now classic ''[[Cahier d'un retour au pays natal]] '' (Journal of a Homecoming).<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vfwJCAAAQBAJ|title=What Fanon Said: A Philosophical Introduction to His Life and Thought|last1=Gordon|first1=Lewis R.|last2=Cornell|first2=Drucilla|date=1 January 2015|publisher=Fordham University Press|isbn=9780823266081|language=en}}</ref> Fanon referred to Césaire's writings in his own work.
