Frantz Fanon: Critical Perspectives

Frantz Fanon was a fearless critic of colonialism and a key figure in Algeria's struggle for independence. Since his untimely death in 1961, Fanon's intellectual reputation has grown on the strength of influential works such as Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth with their incisive insights into issues of race and colonialism.

Frantz Fanon: Critical Perspectives addresses Fanon's extraordinary, often controversial writings, and examines the ways in which his work can shed light on contemporary issues in cultural politics. With sections addressing debates around gender and sexual politics, contemporary cultural studies, and the possibility for a new cultural politic which embraces Fanon's work, this collection offers new directions for cultural and political thought in the postcolonial era.
