Frantz Fanon and Gustavo Gutiérrez, thinkers from the Global South, emerged from distinct backgrounds shaped by colonial legacies. Fanon, a Martinican psychiatrist, became a pivotal figure in the Algerian liberation struggle, advocating for revolutionary humanism influenced by existentialism and Marxist thought. Conversely, Gutiérrez, from Lima, Peru, focused on Liberation Theology, emphasizing a faith that responds to the realities of poverty and inequality. Despite their differing methods—Fanon's secular revolutionary stance and Gutiérrez's ecclesial commitment—they both navigate themes of injustice, offering frameworks for healing and transformation that resonate across their diverse contexts.
Fanon’s revolutionary humanism challenges the imperialist structures, illustrating how colonial legacies demand a deeper understanding of human existence and liberation.
Gutiérrez’s theology reimagines Christian faith to prioritize the struggles of the poor, merging spirituality with social justice in the context of Latin America’s inequalities.
