Description: "The Martiniquean-born, French-educated, Algerian revolutionary Frantz Fanon has influenced generations of activists and scholars. Nearly fifty years after his untimely death (in 1961), Fanon's life's work continues to be debated and discussed around the world. Over the past five years, for example, new translations and editions of his writings have appeared in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. This book is an event: an international, interdisciplinary collection of debates and interventions by leading scholars and intellectuals from Africa, Europe, and the United States. The perspectives are theoretical and practical, philosophical and historical, engaging psychoanalytic theories and practices, issues of identity and sexuality to contemporary postcolonial politics and from cultural criticism to urban planning and conceptions of space"--
