Cover of Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon

Biography reintroducing Fanon to a new generation of readers, revisiting his themes/critiques of racism, colonialism, and nationalism while also arguing for his less appreciated themes—namely, his Manichean sensibility and his personal ethic of radical empathy, both of which underpinned his utopian vision of a new humanism. Lee's account argues for the pragmatic idealism of Frantz Fanon and his continued importance today. —From publisher description.
