Revolutionary humanist and radical psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was one of the greatest Black thinkers of the twentieth century. Born in Martinique and known for his involvement in the Algerian liberation movement, his seminal books Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth are widely considered to be cornerstones of anti-colonial and anti-racist thought. In this essential introduction to Fanons remarkable life and philosophy, Nigel C. Gibson argues that Fanons oeuvre is essential to thinking about race today. Connecting Fanons writing, psychiatric practice, and lived experience in the Caribbean, France, and Africa, Gibson reveals (with startling clarity) his philosophical commitments and the vision of revolution that he stood for. Despite his untimely death, the revolutionary pulse of Fanons ideas has continued to beat ever more strongly in the consciousness of successive revolutionary generations, from the Black Panthers and the Black Power to Black Lives Matter. As Fanons thought comes alive to new activists thinking about their mission to humanize the world, Gibson reminds us that that Fanons revolutionary humanism is fundamental to all forms of anti-colonial struggle, including our own.

This book compels readers to step into the glare of historys floodlights. Nigel Gibson expertly explores Fanons philosophy of liberation and makes a riveting plea for us to listen to Fanon across the ages. Each generation can and should find its revolution no longer in future heaven, but within their own collective consciousness. Jane Anna Gordon, author of Statelessness and Contemporary Enslavement Gibson excavates Fanon like no other scholar. This book is a truly great read, and a masterful rendering of how and why Fanon keeps coming to life during revolutionary turning points in ever more diverse and comprehensive ways. Lou Turner, co-author of Frantz Fanon, Soweto and Black American Thought Combat Breathing reads Fanon as Fanon read his patients and comradesthat is, by patiently and brilliantly reframing and researching Fanons life and work, becoming curious about moments of hesitation and stasis, and seeing what kind of self- and world-making such moments might vivify, if allowed to unfold With Fanon, Gibson proposes to cut against the pathologization of resistance, offering tools and theorya Handbookby which current movements might critique, transform, and sustain their forms of resistance.
