This book focuses on a reading of Frantz Fanon's work and life, asking how the work of a revolutionary writer such as Fanon might be best appropriated for contemporary political and cultural issues.
Separate chapters introduce Fanon's life and examine the question of Fanon as our contemporary; review the field of "Fanon studies" that has grown up around his work; bring Fanon into conversation with the critical contemporary figures Edward Said, Michel Foucault, Jamaica Kincaid, and Paul Gilroy; and turn to Fanon's work to think through the contemporary popular uprisings that have come to be known as the "Arab Spring." The book concludes by arguing that a reevaluation of Fanon's life and work can provide us with a particular set of lessons about solidarity--lessons that are crucial for the contemporary political struggles that face us today and that will continue to confront us in the future. Finding Something Different: Frantz Fanon and the Future of Cultural Politics is inspired by Fanon's unsparing struggle against the depredations of racism and colonialism, and his lifelong commitment to finding something different.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Lexington BooksISBN-13:9780739198391ISBN-10:0739198394UPC:9780739198391Book Category:Literary Criticism, Political Science, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Semiotics & Theory, Colonialism & Post-Colonialism, Cultural & Ethnic StudiesSize:9.00 x 6.00 x 0.80 inchesWeight:0.409Product ID:SC153ABGYJ
