		Fanon inflects his medical and psychological practice with the understanding that racism generates harmful psychological constructs that both blind the fl man to his subjection to a universalized white norm and alienate his consciousness.
		Fanon insists, however, that the category "white" depends for its stability on its negation, "fl." Neither exists without the other, and both come into being at the moment of imperial conquest.
		Furthermore, this emphasis on the rural underclass highlights Fanon's disgust with the greed and politicking of the comprador bourgeoisie in new African nations.

		Frantz Fanon was born in Fort-de-France, Martinique, in the French West Indies in 1925.
		However Fanon's was always a utopian voice, she says, repeating the criticism that Fanon, neither Muslim nor Arab and not speaking Arabic, may have misunderstood certain aspects of Algeria, his adopted country, and the one in which he is now buried.
		Perhaps Fanon's originality, along with his continuing influence, is likely to lie in his having extended Sartrean humanism beyond the confines of Saint Germain-des-Prés in Paris and used it as a frame within which to view the process of decolonisation.

		What Fanon mean by this statement is that you had to focus on the oppression in Africa and once liberation comes and it would be the leading element for liberation else where.

	Frantz Fanon: the platonic form of human resentment by Anthony Daniels
		Fanon was himself never the serious victim of overt French racism, but as a sensitive and intelligent man he must have been profoundly wounded by the disdain and contempt in which members of his race were often held in the metropolitan countries.
		Fanon went to Algeria to practice as a psychiatrist, and, though he was left-wing in his sympathies, he was merely seeking employment, not revolution, there.
		Fanon manages to appear both passionate and bloodless at the same time, a kind of platonic form of human resentment, redeemed only by the code of medical ethics to which, as far as is known, he always adhered in his dealings with individual patients, even when they were French torturers.

	Frantz Fanon: a poisonous thinker who refuses to die, by Robert Fulford
		Fanon was a middle-class French West Indian who grew up on Martinique believing French rhetoric about the equality of man. But his Second World War service with the Free French army and his medical education in Lyons taught him that France was profoundly racist.
		Macey labours to see Fanon in a gentle light: "It was his anger that was so attractive." Well, no, it was his anger that was least attractive, because it blinded him to the consequences of his words.
		Macey says: "The Algeria with which Fanon identified so strongly had become a country in which police interrogators used blow torches in cellars and in which mass murder was committed in the name of a perversion of Islam." In this way, the wretched of the Earth became even more wretched.

		Fanon shows how the revolution not only healed the rift between the traditional Algerian patriarch and the "modern" woman, but created a new culture with new, non-sexist, values.
		For instance, the traditionalist Algerian woman, in the course of the revolution, learned to leave the home, alone, even to doff the hajib, in order to pose as a "modern" woman who could fool the French into thinking she was not a spy for the mujahidin.
		Fanon also talks about how the Algerian's attitude toward modern medicine and modern technology, seemingly backward to the French, changed completely when these instances of modernity ceased to represent French colonialism, but became instruments of Algerian self-determination.

	Granta: Frantz Fanon: A Biography
		Frantz Fanon (1925-1961), author of The Wretched of the Earth, was one of the great figures of the Third World revolutions of the 1950s and 1960s.
		Forced to flee Algeria when he resigned his post, Fanon subsequently worked with the FLN as a propagandist and ambassador but also continued to work as a psychiatrist.
		It goes beyond the myths that have grown up around the revolutionary hero and reveals Fanon to be a complex figure, infinitely more interesting than the theorist of anti-colonial violence celebrated by the left in the 1960s.

		Fanon (1925-1961) was a native of Martinique, more than 10 years the junior of the radical "negritude" poet (and current mayor of Fort-de-France) Aim‚ C‚saire, who was one of his high school teachers.
		Fanon's call for violent revolution, as a means of countering colonialism's institutional and psychological effects on colonized peoples, fueled the Algerian Independence movement and set the stage for decolonization in the rest of colonial Africa and the Caribbean.
		I was greatly moved by Fanon's tragic early death and by his humanist ideals, and I think Macey was right to emphasize, as the famous academic Homi Bhabha recently did, that Fanon's advocacy of anti-colonial violence is not the most important or enduring aspect of his legacy.

		But on the contrary when Fanon says of Europe that she is rushing to her doom, far from sounding the alarm he is merely setting out a diagnosis.
		Fanon reveals to his comrades above all to some of them who are rather too Westernized — the solidarity of the people of the mother country and of their representatives in the colonies.
		Fanon reminds us that not so very long ago, a congress of psychiatrists was distressed by the criminal propensities of the native population.

		Black skin, white mask by Frantz Fanon's is a mind-opening novel for humanity irrespective of race or the color of the skin.
		Written in 1952, Fanon's novel is a response to Mannoni's 'Prospero complex', which states that white colonizers have a symbiotic relationship to the races they colonize, and that this relationship is built upon a system of mutual dependence.
		Frantz Fanon's work is an excellent insight of how people of color throughout the world have been effected by colonization.

	Frantz Fanon and/as Cultural Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The title of this session is meant to suggest its double nature: to provide an opportunity to examine the ways Frantz Fanon's work fits within the field of cultural studies, on the one hand, and the way particular approaches to his work might expand, supplement, or challenge this field, on the other.
		For this session, I would welcome approaches which either use Fanon's work to challenge some of the established paradigms of cultural studies, or those that challenge Fanon's work itself by using these paradigms, questioning whether his work constitutes a useful addition to the field.
		Especially interesting would be papers that considered Fanon's work alongside post-colonial, multicultural, or African diaspora cultural studies; feminist or queer appropriations, critiques, or dismissals of Fanon; psychoanalytic approaches to or readings of Fanon; examinations of Fanon in translation; considerations of Fanon's work and/as cultural nationalism; and investigations of Fanon, Marxism, and cultural studies.

		Fanon pointed out that the so-called individual exists in a social nexus, caught in an enormous WEB, which neither Marx nor Freud had, or could describe in its ultimate finesse.

	Frantz Fanon and Cultural Nationalism in Ireland
		In his chapter entitled ‘On National Consciousness’, Fanon stresses the colonised native fears of being assimilated totally into the culture of the coloniser, of being ‘swamped’ (169 Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth).
		national culture mirrors Fanon’s theories on the use of the past (imagined or not) to restore a different identity and construct an image of a homogenous national culture, different yet equal to the culture of the coloniser.
		In ‘On National Culture' Fanon observes that it is difficult to have a distinct and separate national culture without having a distinct and separate nation: 'in the colonial situation, culture, which is doubly deprived of the support of the nation and the state, falls away and dies.

	Marian's Blog: Frantz Fanon and France's Wretched of the Earth
		Fanon authored two seminal works of "anti-colonial revolutionary thought, Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and The Wretched of the Earth (1961), works which have made Fanon a prominent contributor to postcolonial studies." Fanon died of cancer in Washington, DC on 6 Dec. 1961.
		Fanon was born in these Americas, in Martinique, still called one of France's "overseas departments." I have never fully understood how "departement d'Outre Mer" status works to the long-term benefit of the people of the Caribbean and the Americas.
		Frantz Fanon's life and work, along with the work and lives of dozens and hundreds of other thoughtful, intelligent and even prescient people of colour across the globe, are worthy of being read and being publicly discussed once again.
