Bookedited by Leswin Laubscher, Derek Hook and Miraj U. Desai.
Summary: "Fanon, Phenomenology and Psychology is the first edited collection dedicated to exploring the explicitly phenomenological foundations underlying Frantz Fanon's most important insights. Featuring contributions from many of the world's leading scholars on Fanon, this volume foregrounds a series of crucial phenomenological topics - inclusive of the domains of experience, structure, embodiment, and temporality - pertaining to the analysis and interrogation of racism and anti-Blackness. Chapters highlight and expand Fanon's ongoing importance to the discipline of psychology while opening compelling new perspectives on psychopathology, decolonial praxis, racialized time, Whiteness, the 'racial ontologizing of the body', Black Consciousness and Africana phenomenology. Topics explored include the colonial gaze, black subjectivity, the language of oppression, colonized consciousness, and the trauma of racism. In an era characterized by resurgent forms of anti-Blackness and racism this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists who remain inspired by Fanon's legacy"-- Provided by publisher.
