Frantz Fanon

A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classic alongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and it is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earth is a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized and their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage and frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence in effecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twin perils of post independence colonial politics: the disenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, and intertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon's analysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leaders of emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in the corruption and violence that has plagued present-day Africa. The Wretched of the Earth has had a major impact on civil rights, anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the world, and this bold new translation by Richard Philcox reaffirms it as a landmark.

A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today. “[Fanon] demonstrates how insidiously the problem of race, of color, connects with a whole range of words and images.” — Robert Coles, The New York Times Book Review

Diese Sammlung enthält 28 der politischen Aufsätze Frantz Fanons. Sie stammen aus seiner aktivster Periode und reichen von der Erstveröffentlichung von »Schwarze Haut, weiße Masken« im Jahr 1952 bis zu »Die Verdammten dieser Erde« (1961). Seiner Diagnose nach gibt es am Rassismus nichts Zufälliges. Vielmehr fügt er »sich in ein charakteristisches Ganzes ein, das der Ausbeutung einer Gruppe Menschen durch eine andere« impliziert. Für Fanon konnte es daher nur eine einzige Lösung geben: »Das logische Ende dieses Kampfwillens ist die totale Befreiung des nationalen Territoriums« und »der Kampf ist von Anfang an total«. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze erlauben einen umfassenden Einblick in das Leben und Denken eines der spannendsten und produktivsten Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Politische Schriften

Für eine afrikanische Revolution

Pocos autores han tenido un impacto tan profundo sobre la identidad negra como Frantz Fanon, cuya obra ha ejercido una poderosa influencia sobre el movimiento de los derechos civiles, los movimientos anticoloniales y los movimientos por la conciencia negra de todo el mundo, desde el Black Power hasta los Black Panthers pasando por buena parte de los movimientos de liberación nacional de África y Asia. El racismo y el colonialismo todavía dejan sentir su peso sobre el mundo contemporáneo, y de su análisis y crítica intelectual depende en gran medida la calidad de los modelos de acción política revolucionaria del futuro. Este libro de culto representa un agudo análisis de la formación de la identidad negra en una sociedad blanca, esto es, de cómo el racismo define los modos de reconocimiento, interrelación y construcción de la personalidad individual y social en las sociedades poscoloniales. Incluye, además, artículos de Samir Amin, Judith Butler, Lewis R. Gordon, Ramón Grosfoguel, Nelson Maldonado-Torres, Walter Mignolo, Immanuel Wallerstein y Sylvia Wynter, que desmenuzan brillantemente el texto de Fanon exponiendo toda su riqueza, complejidad y sofisticación intelectual.

Piel negra, máscaras blancas

Frantz Fanon's (1925-61) political impact is difficult to overestimate. His anti-colonialist, philosophical and revolutionary writings were among the most influential of the twentieth century. The political essays, articles and notes published in Alienation and Freedom: The Political Writings cover the most active period of his life, from the publication of White Skin, Black Masks in 1952 - when he was twenty-eight years old - to that of The Wretched of the Earth, the appearance of which in 1961 coincided, give or take a few days, with the date of his death from leukaemia at the age of thirty-six. These political writings represent the sheer breadth and diversity of Fanon's work and this volume is original in that it contains his earliest works to survive, the plays The Drowning Eye and Parallel Hands, which expose an early preoccupation with identity and socio-political consciousness. His writings from Algeria are the most politicised however and are notable for their inflection with Fanon's support for the country's fight against French colonial rule. Indeed, as his role in treating both French and Algerian soldiers grew evermore untenable, his words became more impassioned and represent his decision to cast off his assimilationist upbringing and dedicate himself to revolution. The insights these works provide give a new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon's entire oeuvre and reveal how his powerful thinking about race, identity and activism remain pertinent to modern society. Shedding new light on the work of a major twentieth-century philosopher, this disruptive and moving work will shape how we look at the world.
