Writing during the height of the Algerian war, Frantz Fanon faced a divided African continent . The Wretched of the Earth reads as a warning sign to those residing in the newly independent nations of the Third World, of the threat posed by the nationalist bourgeoisie.

After hearing about countless statistics pointing out just how bad our divide between classes is, it was easy to ignore the reality of what my family life really is like.

all these things? Believe it or not there was a time in life where these things were very uncommon to see. This would be known as the victorian era. This time period was between 1837 and 1901.
