FANON AND THE STRUGGLE AGAINST COLONIAL DOMINATION – DR SILVIA POSOCCO
• LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This session offers an introduction to the work of Frantz Fanon. We focus on the first chapter of Fanon's influential book, The Wretched of the Earth, published in 1961. The book is considered to be a manifesto for anti-colonial movements across Africa and Asia. Fanon's lucid analysis points to the violence of colonialism and imperialism and theorises ways forward for liberation struggles.
