Suicide and colonialism

A Chairde,

I have just read your current issue and found the article about suicide in the Six Counties interesting.

The article reminded me of a book some of you may be familiar with by Frantz Fanon called The Wretched of the Earth.

In this book, he covers the topic of mental illness during colonial warfare, which some readers may be interested in if they would like to look further into suicide and mental illness in general or within a colonial setting and the fight for liberation.
