Fanon and the Decolonization of Philosophy explores the range of ways in which Frantz Fanons decolonization theory can reveal new answers to perennial philosophical questions and new paths to social justice. The aim is to show not just that Fanons thought remains philosophically relevant but that it is relevant to an even wider range of philosophical issues than has previously been realized. The essays in this book are written by both renowned Fanon scholars and new scholars who are emerging as experts in aspects of Fanonian thought as diverse as humanistic psychiatry the colonial roots of racial violence and marginalization and decolonizing possibilities in law academia and tourism. In addition to examining philosophical concerns that arise from political decolonization movements many of the essays turn to the discipline of philosophy itself and take up the challenge of suggesting ways that philosophy might liberate itself from colonialand colonizingassumptions.This collection will be useful to those interested in political theory feminist theory existentialism phenomenology Africana studies and Caribbean philosophy.
