In 1961, Frantz Fanon didn’t mince words when he declared that violence was the only way forward if the people wanted to caste off the oppressive shackles of colonialism. He described his radical theories in The Wretched of the Earth, which was banned in France the day it was published. In Concerning Violence, the American hip-hop singer Lauryn Hill reads passages from Fanon’s treatise in voice-over to accompany footage featuring a variety of African liberation armies in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
