Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was a visionary thinker whose legacy continues to shape conversations on identity, power and resistance. Here, leading Fanon scholar Azzedine Haddour explores themes of gender, revolutionary struggle and the decolonisation of the mind in the first comprehensive study of Fanon’s lesser known work, Studies in a Dying Colonialism (1959).
Drawing on archival material, the author explores the historical developments that determined the colonial consensus and the social transformation prompted by the Algerian liberation struggle. Haddour engages with the biopolitics of French colonialism to support Fanon’s claim that the medical establishment acted in complicity with colonialism. He recounts various assimilationist laws that resulted in the gendering of colonial space and shows how the wars alter the perception of the colonised population through modern western technologies like the radio.
In an era where global struggles for independence and self-determination persist, this book is an essential journey into the mind of a groundbreaking philosopher and icon of revolution.
Azzedine Haddour is Professor in Francophone and Comparative Literature at University College London. He is the author of Frantz Fanon, Postcolonialism and the Ethics of Difference (MUP, 2019) and Colonial Myths: History and Narrative (MUP, 2001), editor of The Fanon Reader (2006), translator of a collection of Sartre’s essays, Colonialism and Neocolonialism (Routledge 2001 and Routledge Classics 2006) and author of various articles on Fanon and postcolonial theory.
