Frantz Fanon: Critical Perspectives

by Anthony C. Alessandrini (Editor)

Frantz Fanon was a fearless critic of colonialism and a key figure in Algeria's struggle for independence. Frantz Fanon: Critical Perspectives addresses Fanon's extraordinary, often contraversial writings, and examines the ways in which his work can shed light on contemporary issues in cultural politics. Embracing feminist theory, cultural studies and postcolonialism, Frantz Fanon: Critical Perspectives offers new directions for cultural and political thought in the postcolonial era.

THE EDITOR OF THIS BOOK WAS A DOCTORAL CANDIDATE WHEN IT CAME OUT (might be thinking of the other one, oh well, point still remains).

what the actual hell, too cool. Wonder how he swung that.

The other collection, "finding something different" had more illuminating and interesting arguments for Fanon's role in cultural politics and post/anti colonial politics. Very useful for my lit review on Fanon's reach though.

This is a great book. It helped me so much in understanding the extent of Frantz Fanon's theories appropriation. I highly recommend it to those dealing with postcolonial studies.
