Zeilig rescues the kernel of Fanon’s thought from hostile detractors and mistaken adulators showing that it was anti-racist, anti-capitalist, internationalistandhumanist.Thisbookisasubtleandsympathetic engagementwithFanon’slifeproject:decolonisationandtheplight ofthe nationalliberation movement in Africa.Everyone concerned with the human emancipation project must read this book.’ Trevor Ngwane, Research Chair for Social Change, University of Johannesburg ‘A thought-provoking book that represents a new interpretation of FrantzFanon,keythinkeroftheThirdWorldanti-colonialrevolution that transformed the twentieth century.’ Martin Evans, Professor of Modern European History, University of Sussex ‘Leo Zeilig identifies Frantz Fanon as the most important figure in the ideological struggle against colonialism in the twentieth century, arguing that his critical engagement with Marxism enabled him to go far beyond that project. He was a brilliant champion of national liberation, yet he turned into its most devastating critic. In this captivating and passionate biography, Zeilig argues that while Fanon’slegacyisambiguous,itsemancipatorymessage demandsour continuing attention if we are tochallengethe continuing oppressions and inequalities of global capitalism.
