In this episode, Jewish Currents editor-at-large Peter Beinart interviews the philosopher, activist, author, and educator Angela Davis, whose writing and organizing have shaped Black liberation, feminist, queer, and prison abolitionist movements for more than 50 years. In a wide-ranging conversation, the two discuss how Jews shaped Davis's formative years, analyze the Jewish role in the civil rights movement, compare the campus activism of the 1960s to today's college protests, and explore why Palestine is central to the global left.This conversation first appeared in The Beinart Notebook on Substack.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further ReadingFreedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement, Angela DavisAngela Davis: An Autobiography, Angela Davis“How the 1960s Civil Rights and Black Power Movements Split on Israel,” Michael R.

Send us a textMeet Mario Colucci, a psychiatrist who has worked in a variety of roles in the Trieste system for over 30 years. He is currently the director of the Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment Service , which is linked to the general emergency room of the civil hospital in Udine, in the same region of Trieste. I consider him “the psychiatrist's philosopher” because of his keen intellect and how he effortlessly weaves philosophy into telling the story of Basaglia. In this interview, we explore four themes:Philosophy – and how it impacted the thinking of Franco Basaglia in the 1960'sEducation of psychiatrists – then and nowPower dynamics between clinician and patient – and power-sharingThe “total institution” To provide some additional resource material to follow along in the conversation, the following links may be helpful.General discussion of phenomenology.Four influential books that coincidentally were published in 1961, the same year that Franco Basaglia was assigned to the asylum in Gorizia:Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason. Michel Foucault (1961)Asylums. Erving Goffman. (1961)The Wretched of the Earth. Frantz Fanon. (1961)The Land of Remorse. Ernesto de Martino (1961) Additionally, Dr. Colucci provided additional resources from his own research. In 2001, he and Pierangelo Di Vittorio wrote the first monograph on Basaglia. In 2024, they wrote a book and the links to the abstract and the book are provided below. Franco Basaglia.

In today's episode Guilaine reflects on how the perception of language and linguistics can become dislocated through a primitive colonial imaginary to the point where people do not hear language as it is.She presents a hypothesis around the ways that the literal sound of racialised people talking can become distorted and dislocated in the ears of white people listening. She draws on two anecdotes as examples, both consisting of French speakers being heard as speaking non-French languages, one in an online video from a few years ago of two Black French people, and one a personal story of racial violence that she and her mother experienced. In addition she considers some passages by Frantz Fanon in his book Black Skin, White Masks: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/313127/black-skin-white-masks-by-fanon-frantz/9780241396667She asks what happens to the white psyche when exposed to stimuli related to Blackness and African-ness absorbed through the white imaginary. And considers the way this phenomenon distorts reality impacting how The Other is perceived. She compares it to the racial hostility that happens when someone is speaking in a rational, clear and precise way but the interlocutor cannot understand. She calls this racial contempt where people of colour's words are seen as “mumbojumbo”.She posits that this distortion functions differently from epistemic credibility and violence, it acts more as an intellectual block, playing out as a distortion, an almost physical experience, where people are literally not heard, or what is heard is not heard as is, but as imagined.Subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.
Jean-Claude Flamand-Barny présente son dernier long-métrage, « Fanon », en première australienne à l'occasion du festival du film africain de Sydney (African Film Fest Australia 2025). Fort d'une réception critique positive et de plusieurs récompenses, ce film explore la pensée de Frantz Fanon, figure incontournable de l'anticolonialisme.
Fait social total, le tourisme n'échappe pas, dans son passé comme son présent, aux stigmates coloniaux. Parce qu'un autre voyage est possible, il faut le décoloniser… Depuis de nombreuses années, les études postcoloniales ont démontré à quel point analyser, étudier le fait colonial permettait de comprendre le temps présent et son propre désordre ; avec au centre, la survivance de ce legs hérité de la colonisation dans les imaginaires, les savoirs ou les pratiques… Aujourd'hui, on parle ainsi de décoloniser les arts, les musées, l'architecture, l'école, les esprits ou l'histoire... Et le voyage, forcément, en tant que fabrique de l'Autre et de l'ailleurs, n'échappe pas à cette analyse décoloniale, complexe mais fertile. Des «découvreurs» aux explorateurs en casque colonial assoiffés de conquêtes, des aventuriers en terre inconnue aux touristes avides d'exotisme et d'entre-soi, la galerie de portraits fleure bon, parfois… souvent, ce temps des colonies où l'Europe se vivait en maître naturel de la planète. Tourisme et colonisation ont d'ailleurs fait bon ménage par le passé. Ainsi, dès la constitution des empires coloniaux, français ou autres, une mise en tourisme des colonies se met en place, comme une manière d'occuper -on disait « pacifier »- le territoire ; mais aussi de s'approprier les paysages et les cultures, de préférence sans les populations locales. Dans les expositions coloniales, on exhibait ces populations à grand renfort de clichés racistes, tout en les reléguant au rang de subalternes ou d'obligés, forcément exotiques. À noter que certains disent encore «j'ai fait la Thaïlande» pour parler de leurs voyages, comme jadis on disait dans le jargon militaire colonial «j'ai fait l'Indochine». Décoloniser le voyage, c'est savoir se décentrer pour un Occidental et se départir des stéréotypes sur la culture de l'Autre qui essentialisent et se perpétuent. C'est aussi dire et partager l'histoire coloniale dans l'espace public, interroger ses continuités et faire émerger d'autres récits. C'est enfin décoloniser les musées, notamment à travers la restitution des objets et biens culturels pillés pendant la colonisation.

Both new and seasoned psychotherapists wrestle with the relationship between psychological distress and inequality across race, class, gender, and sexuality. How does one address this organically in psychotherapy? What role does it play in therapeutic action? Who brings it up, the therapist or the patient? Daniel José Gaztambide addresses these questions by offering a rigorous decolonial approach that rethinks theory and technique from the ground up, providing an accessible, evidence-informed reintroduction to psychoanalytic practice. He re-examines foundational thinkers from three traditions--Freudian, relational-interpersonal, and Lacanian--through the lens of revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, and offers a detailed analysis of Fanon's psychoanalytic practice. Drawing on rich yet grounded discussions of theory and research, Gaztambide presents a clinical model that facilitates exploration of the social in the clinical space in a manner intimately related to the patient's presenting problem. In doing so, this book demonstrates that clinicians no longer have to choose between attending to the personal, interpersonal, or sociopolitical. It is a guide to therapeutic action "on the couch," which envisions political action "off the couch" and in the streets. Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented and compelling guide for students, practitioners, and scholars of critical, multicultural and decolonial approaches to psychotherapy.

In part 2 of our 'What Would Malcolm Do?' series, we examine his anti-zionist writings and other sources in the archive of his visits abroad to places such as Gaza. We also discuss the cultural aspects of neocolonial warfare in reference to not only Malcolm X, but also Robert F. Williams and Frantz Fanon.
„Es ist nahezu unmöglich, unversehrt aus der Lektüre Fanons hervorzugehen. Es ist schwer ihn zu lesen, ohne berührt zu werden.“ Das schreibt der kamerunische Philosoph Achille Mbembe über Frantz Fanon – Psychiater, Aktivist, Autor des antikolonialen Manifests „Die Verdammten dieser Erde“. Bewundert für die Wucht seiner Sprache, die Radikalität seines Denkens, gefürchtet wegen seines Aufrufs zum gewaltsamen Widerstand: auch heute, kurz vor seinem 100. Geburtstag, bleibt der jung verstorbene Fanon eine widersprüchliche Figur. Revolutionär, Humanist, Apologet der Gewalt – wer war Frantz Fanon? Michael Risel diskutiert mit Prof. Dr. Andreas Eckert – Afrikawissenschaftler, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; Caroline Fetscher – Publizistin, Berlin; Prof. Dr. Claus Leggewie – Politikwissenschaftler, Universität Gießen
À l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance de Frantz Fanon (1925 - 1961), révolutionnaire martiniquais et penseur majeur de la décolonisation, gros plan sur son existence fulgurante. comme en témoigne le manga publié chez Caraïbéditions «Frantz Fanon, les couleurs du combat» illustré par Daniel Fernandes de Almeida et écrit par Olivier Mery notre invité. De son engagement dans les forces françaises libres pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale à son rôle crucial dans la lutte pour l'indépendance de l'Algérie, Fanon a consacré son existence à dénoncer les ravages du colonialisme et du racisme. Psychiatre de formation, il a exposé avec une lucidité radicale la déshumanisation des opprimés comme des oppresseurs. Son héritage résonne encore aujourd'hui. (Présentation de Caraïbéditions) Olivier Mery : «Auteur antillais né en 1984 à Saint-Denis (France), je grandis entre imagination débordante et passion pour le manga. En 2018, je me lance en indépendant avec mes premiers mangas amateurs, guidé par l'envie de raconter des histoires porteuses de sens. J'ancre mes récits dans des cultures antillaises et africaines, entre mémoire et modernité. En 2024, je suis repéré par Caraïbéditions et publie mon premier manga». Daniel Fernandes de Almeida est né en 1989 à Águeda (Portugal) et découvre le dessin à son arrivée en France à L'âge de cinq ans. Aujourd'hui, il est professeur d'Arts plastiques.

De psychiater en schrijver Frantz Fanon (1925 – 1962) groeide uit tot een van de scherpste stemmen tegen koloniale onderdrukking. Fanon sloot zich aan bij de Algerijnse onafhankelijkheidsbeweging en zette zijn ideeën om in actie. Met boeken als Zwarte huid, witte maskers en De verworpenen der aarde zette hij de strijd tegen wit superieuriteitsdenken en de doorwerking van racisme op de Zwarte psyche op de kaart. Wat zegt Fanon honderd jaar na zijn geboorte over de wereld van nu? En wat kunnen wij vandaag doen met zijn denken over identiteit, bevrijding en weerstand? Psychiater en schrijver Glenn Helberg is van Curaçaose afkomst en vertelt bij OVT waarom Fanon hem nog altijd inspireert.

It's a real humdinger of an episode, as Jake's allergies flare up while he tells a long story about some unpleasant men at the barbershop, Ian explains the Mexican Revolution, and we both read passages from Frantz Fanon.

Abby and Patrick welcome philosopher Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò on the occasion of the new edition of his book Reconsidering Reparations: Why Climate Justice and Constructive Politics Are Needed in the Wake of Slavery and Colonialism. Reconsidering Reparations is a magisterial work that ties together global history, data from economics and public health, philosophy, and more, and dramatically cuts through many of our moment's thorniest debates over identity, responsibility, and political change. Together, Abby, Patrick, and Olúfẹ́mi contextualize and walk through the book's core arguments and their implications for audiences both psychoanalytic and otherwise. Beginning with how a truly transatlantic history of the African slave trade and an awareness of how European colonialism as a properly global enterprise can together shed new light on both domestic inequalities within the United States and relations between the contemporary Global North and South, the three unpack how the accumulation of material advantages and disadvantages have, over time, resulted in landscapes of suffering that are simultaneously far-flung yet fundamentally interconnected. Historicizing and grounding the present in terms of what Táíwò terms “Global Racial Empire” renders uncanny the givenness of contemporary national borders, and throws into question many of our most foundational national narratives and even the givenness of the state form itself. Moreover, thinking seriously about history and oppression reveals what canonical philosophical accounts of the liberal social contract disavow, and what fantasies and concrete purposes so many contemporary invocations of meritocracy and justice as “fairness” serve. The conversation builds to Olúfẹ́mi's “constructive view” of reparations, the centrality of climate justice to that program, and a series of crucial disambiguations and reconfigurations of prevailing notions of responsibility, accountability, guilt, liability, and more. Indeed, as the three describe, thinking about ourselves in terms of our ancestors, while understanding ourselves as ancestors, offers everyone a path forward, one that moves beyond the dead-ends of reflexive denialism and narcissistic injury to suggest new possibilities for identification, disidentification, and solidarity, and that powerfully clarifies goals, sustains motivation, and helps us imagine possibilities for change across social differences, geographical distances, and the span of time. Plus: “theory versus practice” versus “theory and practice”; the example and legacy of Frantz Fanon; the joys, perplexities, and embarrassments of being a philosophy nerd; and more. Olúfẹ́mi O.

durée : 00:57:08 - Autant en emporte l'Histoire - par : Stéphanie Duncan - 1953. Frantz Fanon, jeune médecin d'origine martiniquaise, arrive en Algérie pour prendre son poste à l'hôpital psychiatrique de Blida-Joinville. Il découvre alors la réalité coloniale, en particulier la psychiatrie telle qu'elle y est pratiquée fondée sur le prétendu primitivisme des indigènes. - invités : Alice CHERKI - Alice Cherki : Psychiatre, psychanalyste et auteure - réalisé par : Anne WEINFELD
In our latest episode we speak with the author and academic Frank Gerits, whose most recent work explores the history of the intense ideological battle which took place in the 1950s and 1960s for African hearts and minds. His book, The Ideological Scramble for Africa, explores how this competition wasn't just between Cold War superpowers, but among African leaders themselves who were projecting competing visions of what African modernity should look like. In this conversation with Robert Amsterdam, Dr. Gerits gives an informed portrait of key figures such as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, whose revolutionary call for immediate continental unity challenged both colonial powers and fellow African leaders. While leaders like Senegal's Senghor favored maintaining ties with Europe and others promoted regional federations, Nkrumah demanded complete independence and a "Monroe Doctrine for Africa" that would keep the continent out of global power struggles entirely. Gerits discussess his views on the fascinating psychological dimension of decolonization, showing how Western powers promoted "modernization" programs designed to psychologically transform Africans, while leaders like Nkrumah and intellectuals like Frantz Fanon fought to reclaim African cultural identity. The louder Africans demanded independence, the more Western powers interpreted this as evidence they needed more assistance—a dynamic that continues today. Be sure to explore our library of past podcast episodes, which include more than a dozen recent books on Africa.
« La première chose que l'indigène apprend, c'est de rester à sa place, à ne pas dépasser les limites. C'est pourquoi les rêves de l'indigène sont des rêves musculaires, des rêves d'actions, des rêves agressifs.» Ainsi écrit Frantz Fanon dans Les damnés de la terre. Fanon l'Antillais, Fanon l'Algérien, Fanon l'Africain, chacun de ses masques raconte comment s'est forgée la pensée du psychiatre, en évolution permanente. Car avant d'être un révolutionnaire, Fanon était un thérapeute, et sa réflexion sur la société coloniale a pris forme dans l'enfermement. Dans les hôpitaux, dans les asiles, mais aussi dans ce qu'il considère être la prison de la race.Avec Adam Shatz, pour sa biographie « Frantz Fanon, une vie en révolutions », parue aux éditions La Découverte. Au son des archives sonores et musicales de l'INA et de RFI.Émission initialement diffusée le 31 mars 2024.
Guest: Adam Shatz is the US editor of the London Review of Books and author of The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon. He is the host of the podcast Myself with Others. The post The Life & Works of Frantz Fanon appeared first on KPFA.
*I've done what I can to salvage the audio but there's some unrecoverable skips in the audio in this episode.*We're back in the studio to talk about this year's new surprise-hit - Ryan Coogler's Sinners - a horror/historical fiction romp that ties together creative worldbuilding, sober historicism, deep homages to the blues and vampire folklore for an experience that calls forth spirits of the past and future - and how the segment Concerning Violence from Frantz Fanon's seminal work Wretched of the Earth ties in somehow! https://linktr.ee/greenhousegaslighting
ORIGINALLY RELEASED Nov 2, 2023 Alyson and Breht discuss the ongoing national liberation struggle in Palestine. Together, they discuss the incredible shift in public opinion on Israel and Palestine, the internal and external contradictions culminating in unison for Israel, the discussion about whether or not what Israel is doing is technically a genocide (it absolutely is), international law, Frantz Fanon on the psychology of national liberation, the prospects of a broader regional war, the possibilities of Turkish or Iranian engagement, the history and core elements of Zionism, the analytical importance of the settler colonial and decolonization frameworks, the disgusting role that Biden and the Democratic Party are playing in manufacturing consent for Israel's civilian mass murder campaign, the "lesser of two genocider" arguments being trotted out by liberals, how Hamas is basically an orphan army of men who have had their families killed by Israel in previous assaults, why we should reject the "terrorist" framing of the western ruling elites, what the palestinian resistance has managed to accomplish, and what might emerge from the Ruins of Gaza when all is said and done... ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE
What can Frantz Fanon and Friedrich Nietzsche teach us about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?[NOTE: This episode originally aired on October 11, 2024.]This week, we're joined by Zahi Zalloua (Whitman College) to discuss the final chapter of his most recent book The Politics of the Wretched: Race, Reason, and Ressentiment (Bloomsbury, 2024)-- entitled "Zionist ressentiment, the Left, and the Palestinian Question"-- which offers a fresh lens through which to understand the complex affects and power dynamics that continue to fuel this ongoing struggle by focusing on what 19th C. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche called ressentiment—a deep-seated feeling of injustice and grievance.Zalloua unpacks how a collective sense of moral outrage on the part of Zionists has been deployed to shield Israel from criticism by accusing pro-Palestinian advocates, and the Left more generally, of a “new anti-Semitism.” He contrasts this with Palestinian ressentiment, which he frames as a legitimate response to the ongoing reality of settler-colonialism and displacement. His work both critiques the complicity of liberal Zionism in maintaining the status quo and challenges us to reframe the way we understand both Zionist and Palestinian anger.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-155-the-palestinian-question-with-zahi-zalloua-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

durée : 00:58:22 - Avec philosophie - par : Géraldine Muhlmann, Nassim El Kabli - Pour Fanon, on devient noir par le regard de l'Autre. À partir de l'expérience vécue, il dénonce le racisme et propose une "phénoménologie critique" de la race, tout en gardant une distance ambiguë vis-à-vis de la Négritude. - réalisation : Nicolas Berger - invités : Mickaëlle Provost Docteure en philosophie de l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne; Hourya Bentouhami-Molino Philosophe, spécialiste de philosophie politique et enseignante-chercheuse à l'Université Toulouse II Jean-Jaurès
In this episode, we discuss WLOP co-host William Paris's recently published book Race, Time, and Utopia: Critical Theory and the Process of Emancipation. In his book, Will examines the utopian elements in the theories of W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Delany, Marcus Garvey, Frantz Fanon, and James Boggs and their critique of racial domination as the domination of social time. The crew talks about the relationship between utopia and realism, the centrality of time for our social practices, and how history can provide critical principles for an emancipated society. We even find out whether Gil, Lillian, and Owen think the book is any good! patreon.com/leftofphilosophyReferences:William Paris, Race, Time, and Utopia: Critical Theory and the Process of Emancipation (New York: Oxford University Press, 2025)Thomas Blanchet, Lucas Chancel, and Amory Gethin, "Why Is Europe More Equal than the United States?"

durée : 00:59:11 - Avec philosophie - par : Géraldine Muhlmann, Nassim El Kabli - La pensée de Frantz Fanon est souvent réduite à sa charge politique. Ses écrits psychiatriques, moins connus, expriment pourtant déjà son caractère révolutionnaire, alors qu'il appelait à une refonte complète de l'ethnopsychiatrie de l'époque, préalable nécessaire à la décolonisation des cerveaux. - réalisation : Nicolas Berger - invités : Jean Khalfa Fellow du Trinity College, de Cambridge, où il enseigne l'histoire de la pensée française et Senior Research Fellow de la British Academy pour le programme de recherche sur Fanon dont il s'est occupé
In this episode we interview Tariq Khan on his book The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression. We'll be releasing this conversation as a two part episode on this excellent book which studies how anticommunism within the US is deeply intertwined with settler colonialism, anti-indigenous thought, and genocidal violence. This helps us to reframe our often twentieth century centric view of anti-left repression in the US. Khan's work on the 19th century in particular also helps us to see the ways things like race science, eugenics, and phrenology were formed a backbone of the original assumptions of US policing, anti-anarchist repression, lynching, and regimes of deportation. Alongside and related to settler colonial violence against indigenous people, and anti-Black violence, we also through this conversation really get into how central the repression of anarchists in the 19th century was to the development of logics and technologies of anti-left repression in the so-called United States. It is also important to see the resonance between US genocidal violence and state repression and that of the so-called State of Israel on Palestinians, something we explore a little bit more in part two of this discussion along with delving into William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt and more. This conversation was recorded this past December so we don't reference a lot of what has happened in the last couple of months, but pairing this conversation with a discussion we hosted on our YouTube channel a week ago with Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly (CBS) helps us to see how many things we are constantly told represent the crossing of new red lines, or the onset of a fascism that is foreign to the US, are actually foundational pillars of US statecraft, warfare and policing with very long histories. On the subject of our YouTube channel, we have once again been very busy over there, releasing eight episodes over the last two weeks. We are only 13 subscribers away from 10,000 on our YouTube page, so now is a great time to sign up for free if you haven't, and help us to hit that milestone. And you can catch up on all the conversations we've had over there recently and over the past year and a half if you've been following us there. We also set-up a “Buy Me A Coffee” account which allows people to offer us one time support if they prefer doing that instead of the recurring contributions of patreon. You can support us in either place, and that is the only financial support we receive for these audio episodes, so we really appreciate whatever you can give to keep these conversations coming. Music by Televangel Guest bio: Dr. Tariq Khan is a historian with an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the intertwined forces underlying and shaping our social, political, economic, and cultural institutions. He has wide-ranging research, writing, and teaching experience in the fields of global capitalism, transnational studies, U.S. history, psychology, sociology, ethnicity & race studies, gender studies, colonialism & postcolonialism, labor & working-class history, radical social movements, history “from below,” public history, and community-based research and teaching. A few examples of his published works are his chapter “Living Social Dynamite: Early Twentieth-Century IWW-South Asia Connections,” in the book Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW, his chapter “Frantz Fanon,” in the forthcoming anthology Fifty Key Scholars in Black Social Thought, and his new book The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression
