Yes Fanon was a Marxist Humanist. His Marxist Humanism was at the center of his work. It's all over every book he wrote. Here's a good resource on it: https://www.jstor.org/stable/273824

If you don't see the radical humanism, that is explicitly labeled as such in his work by himself, I don't what to tell you. This is a well established fact of his writing. His work on the psychopathology of colonization, and the human, social, and cultural consequences of decolonization are all from an explicitly radically humanist perspective. Fanon's writing on alienation is classically following from the 1844 manuscripts. He is firmly in the Marxist Humanist tradition. Dunayevskaya, the classic Marxist Humanist constantly mentioned him, and wrote forwards for later developments of his work, such as Frantz Fanon, Soweto and American Black Thought.
Of course Fanon is a radical humanist. So was Mao. So was uh, Shakespeare? Jesus was a radical humanist.
Marxist-Humanism has made important contributions to the left. Subjectivity is a core component of academic Maoism and Marxist-Humanism and Structuralism and the New Left. It all overlaps.
However, Marxist-Humanism has a dual character. There are revolutionary and counter-revolutionaries within that school of thought.
Can we compromise and say that Fanon was a revolutionary Marxist-Humanist?

You’re a difficult one!
