Translating Frantz Fanon Across
Continents and Languages
This book provides an innovative look at the reception of Frantz Fanon’s
texts, investigating how, when, where and why these—especially his seminal
Les Damnés de la Terre (1961)—were first translated and read. Building
on renewed interest in the author’s works in both postcolonial studies and
revolutionary movements in recent years, as well as travelling theory, micro-
history and histoire croisée interests in translation studies, the volume tells
the stories of translations of Fanon’s texts into twelve different languages—
Arabic, Danish, English, German, Italian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Rus-
sian, Serbo-Croatian, Swahili and Swedish—bringing both a historical and
a multilingual perspective to the ways in which Fanon is cited today. With
contributions from an international, interdisciplinary group of scholars, the
stories told combine themes of movement and place, personal networks and
agency, politics and activism, and archival research and textual analysis,
creating a book that is a fresh and comprehensive volume on the translated
works of Frantz Fanon and essential reading for scholars in translation stud-
ies, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, critical race studies, and African
diaspora literature.
