A veritable “intellect on fire,” Fanon was a radical thinker with original theories on race, revolution, violence, identity and agency.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book 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. In 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57699938632054,"sku":"9780745622606","price":56.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41048114_ade26f4f-6033-48e0-aed9-a7f1b4f2f985.jpg?v=1777035865","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780745622606-fanon","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
