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.
