{"product_id":"9781509526758","title":"Fanon: The Postcolonial Imagination","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrantz Fanon was a French psychiatrist turned Algerian revolutionary of Martinican origin, and one of the most important and controversial thinkers of the postwar period. A veritable “intellect on fire,” Fanon was a radical thinker with original theories on race, revolution, violence, identity and agency.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an excellent introduction to the ideas and legacy of Fanon. Gibson explores him as a truly complex character in the context of his time and beyond. He argues that for Fanon, theory has a practical task to help change the world. Thus Fanon’s “untidy dialectic,” Gibson contends, is a philosophy of liberation that includes cultural and historical issues and visions of a future society. In a profoundly political sense, Gibson asks us to reevaluate Fanon’s contribution as a critic of modernity and reassess in a new light notions of consciousness, humanism, and social change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a fascinating study that will interest undergraduates and above in postcolonial studies, literary theory, cultural studies, sociology, politics, and social and political theory, as well as general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127352312048,"sku":"9781509526758","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781509526758_p0.jpg?v=1763723089","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781509526758","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
