Camus and Fanon on the Algerian Question
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-74991-0 (ISBN)
The author foregrounds the bloody Algerian War of Independence in his analysis of the philosophies of Camus and Fanon. Although neither supported French colonial occupation of Algeria, they held radically different views of the conflict. Fanon supported emancipation through violence, which the author argues has been uncritically romanticized. Camus, on the other hand, supported an ethics of moderation that shunned indiscriminate violence. The author argues that Camus has been unfairly accused of being an apologist for colonialism. Finally, the author draws out the common endorsement of humanist values that drive both Camus’ and Fanon’s thought.
Camus and Fanon on the Algerian Question will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in twentieth-century Continental philosophy, postcolonialism, existentialism, and African philosophy.
Pedro Tabensky is the Director of the Allan Gray Centre for Leadership Ethics, Department of Philosophy, Rhodes University in South Africa. He has drawn on the work of Fanon and Camus intellectuals in recent publications. Tabensky is currently working on a book exploring the relationship between education, ethics, and freedom.
