A veritable \"intellect on fire,\" Fanon was a radical thinker with original theories on race, revolution, violence, identity, and agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFanon\u003c\/em\u003e by Nigel C. Gibson is an excellent introduction to the ideas and legacy of Fanon. Gibson explores him as a truly complex character in the context of his time and beyond. He argues that for Fanon, theory has a practical task to help change the world. Thus, Fanon's \"untidy dialectic,\" Gibson contends, is a philosophy of liberation that includes cultural and historical issues and visions of a future society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a profoundly political sense, Gibson asks us to reevaluate Fanon's contribution as a critic of modernity and reassess in a new light notions of consciousness, humanism, and social change. This is a fascinating study that will interest undergraduates and above in postcolonial studies, literary theory, cultural studies, sociology, politics, and social and political theory, as well as general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596377374956,"sku":"9780745622606","price":203.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a6b6c0f71b1f6d1e53a822485b88eee5.jpg?v=1777929702","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/fanon-by-nigel-c-gibson-9780745622606","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
