Description
Since the publication of The Wretched of the Earth in 1961, Fanon’s work has been deeply significant for generations of intellectuals and activists from the 60s to the present day.
Alienation and Freedom collects together unpublished works comprising around half of his entire output – which were previously inaccessible or thought to be lost. This book introduces audiences to a new Fanon, a more personal Fanon, and one whose literary and psychiatric works, in particular, take centre stage.
These writings provide new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon’s entire oeuvre, revealing more of his powerful thinking about identity, race, and activism, which remain remarkably prescient. Shedding new light on the work of a major 20th-century philosopher, this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Alienation and Freedom is highly praised for its rich assembly of Frantz Fanon's previously unpublished texts, providing a comprehensive look at his diverse interests and contributions. Critics commend the editors, Jean Khalfa and Robert J.C. Young, for their meticulous work, enabling a deeper understanding of Fanon's role as a philosopher, psychiatrist, and revolutionary thinker. The collection is considered both a crucial resource for scholars and an enlightening exploration for general readers interested in decolonial thought and the pursuit of social justice.
