{"product_id":"9781783716852","title":"Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades","description":"Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was a Caribbean and African psychiatrist, philosopher and revolutionary whose works, including Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth are hugely influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory, and post-Marxism. His legacy remains with us today, having inspired movements in Palestine, Sri Lanka, the US and South Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a critical biography of his extraordinary life. Peter Hudis draws on the expanse of his life and work - from his upbringing in Martinique and early intellectual influences to his mature efforts to fuse psychoanalysis and philosophy and contributions to the anti-colonial struggle in Algeria - to counter the monolithic assumption that Fanon's contribution to modern thought is defined by the advocacy of violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was a political activist who brought his interests in psychology and philosophy directly to bear on such issues as mutual recognition, democratic participation and political sovereignty. Hudis shows that, as a result, Fanon emerges as neither armchair intellectual nor intransigent militant.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182276067568,"sku":"9781783716852","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783716852_p0.jpg?v=1763725213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783716852","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
