Podcasts about Frantz Fanon

This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. We return to our very slow trip through the films of Sergio Leone with 1971's DUCK, YOU SUCKER!, also known as A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE, also known as GIÙ LA TESTA, a story of the Mexican Revolution starring Rod Steiger and James Coburn. 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.

O jovem francês Miguel Shema está no 5° ano de Medicina da Faculdade de Iasi, na Romênia. Apesar de passar boa parte do tempo mergulhado nos livros de sua área, ao longo dos anos ele começou a questionar a maneira como os pacientes negros e de outras etnias são atendidos nos hospitais.  Taíssa Stivanin, da RFI em ParisEssas são algumas das reflexões que o estudante de Medicina francês relata em seu livro “La Santé est Politique” (A Saúde é Política, em tradução livre), onde denuncia a discriminação de alguns profissionais da saúde. De acordo com ele, esse preconceito se manifesta de maneira inconsciente, ancorado em vieses cognitivos que "enganam” o cérebro na hora de tomar decisões.  O livro de Miguel é resultado de observações feitas em estágios nos hospitais franceses. Na obra, ele cita casos reais que escandalizaram a opinião pública, como o da jovem francesa de origem africana Naomi Musenga, 22 anos, que vivia em Estrasburgo, no leste do país.   Em 2017, vítima de fortes dores no abdômen, ela morreu por falta de atendimento. Horas antes, Naomi ligou para o Samu, o 192 francês, e foi ignorada pela atendente, que minimizou seu caso e a mandou procurar um médico. “Eu me interessei pelas Ciências Sociais no ensino médio. Tinha necessidade de entender por que eu passava por algumas situações e porque eu era alvo de insultos na escola. Precisava também entender o racismo que eu mesmo vivenciei”, explica.Foi nessa época que Miguel Shema passou a escrever artigos para o site francês Bondy Blog, criado para dar voz aos moradores dos subúrbios franceses. Uma de suas inspirações é o psiquiatra e militante martinicano Frantz Fanon, que em 1952 escreveu um célebre artigo descrevendo a Síndrome Norte-africana, "que questiona o racismo e o desprezo dos médicos pela dor do paciente", explica Miguel. Nesse mesmo período ele teve contato, pela primeira vez, com conceitos até então desconhecidos para ele, como a chamada Síndrome Mediterrânea. “É uma crença, um viés cognitivo, que alguns profissionais da saúde têm. Eles consideram que os magrebinos teriam uma propensão a exagerar a dor”.  A pandemia de Covid 19 também influenciou o engajamento do jovem francês. Miguel lembra que, em 2020, quando o vírus começou a se espalhar por toda a França, a população de alguns subúrbios de Paris foi acusada de contribuir para a propagação Sars-CoV-2 - por desrespeitar o lockdown e outras medidas restritivas.“Foi um momento de grande indignação. Ainda temos discursos distantes da realidade epidemiológica, política, social ou médica. Foi a partir daí que criei uma conta nas redes sociais, @sante_politique, e tive a vontade de questionar a relação de dominação existente entre os profissionais da saúde”, acrescenta.  "Médicos não têm como medir a dor"Durante seus estágios nos hospitais da capital e da região, Miguel, como observador, não podia intervir nas situações de abusos que testemunhava. Mas anotava tudo que poderia ilustrar o racismo e o preconceito presentes nos estabelecimentos. A questão da dor, e como os profissionais a avaliavam em função do paciente, foi para ele uma das mais marcantes.“Os médicos não têm como medir a dor. Considerar que ela é mais ou menos forte é uma questão puramente social. Acreditamos ou não em nossos pacientes. O que estou tentando dizer é que na Medicina francesa existe ainda a crença de que o olhar do clínico é neutro, mas na verdade ele não é. E a maneira como enxergamos o paciente vai influenciar na forma como avaliamos a dor dele”, observa.  Parlez-vous français?O estudante de Medicina também ficou surpreso com a falta de intérpretes para ajudar os pacientes que não falam francês nos hospitais, sendo que os estabelecimentos do país têm esse recurso à disposição. Segundo ele, após a consulta, o laudo é entregue em francês, e o paciente que fala uma língua diferente ou que não domina o idioma, em alguns casos acaba até abandonando o tratamento se não tiver a orientação adequada. “Se queremos cuidar direito das pessoas, se temos a pretensão de ser um sistema de saúde que atende todo mundo, temos que respeitá-las, em qualquer circunstância” diz Miguel.  “É essencial se comunicar bem com eles. A comunicação não para no diagnóstico. Precisamos ter certeza de que o paciente entendeu sua patologia, seu tratamento e as complicações que a doença e o tratamento podem acarretar”, afirma. A medicina, reitera o estudante francês, se desenvolveu no período colonial, e alguns desses preconceitos ainda persistem. “É importante que as ciências sociais, a história e a sociologia estejam mais presentes nos cursos de medicina. Negro, em termos médicos, não quer dizer nada”, diz. “Negro tem um significado sociológico. É importante, neste sentido, constatar como essas pessoas são tratadas, e qual é a percepção que se tem delas. A discussão para por aí. Ser negro significa ser alvo da negrofobia. E pronto.”

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.

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

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?"

In de podcast Wat Blijft een aflevering over filosoof, psychiater en schrijver Frantz Fanon. Deze de Frans-Martinikaanse psychiater, schrijver en filosoof was ook vrijheidsstrijder en revolutionair. Hij zette het postkoloniale denken op een ander spoor en werd een belangrijke stem in de anti-koloniale strijd. Zijn bekendste boek is Les Damnés de la Terre (De verworpenen der aarde, 1961).     Journalist Nathan de Vries praat met zijn dochter Mireille Fanon-Mendès, de uit Sierra Leone afkomstige schrijver/journalist Babah Tarawally en de Vlaamse schrijver Koen Bogaert die een boek schreef over Fanon. Ook wordt er aandacht besteed aan de biopic Fanon over Frantz Fanon van regisseur Jean-Claude Barny die vanaf begin april in de bioscoop te zien is.

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

Carlos Amador on Latin American aesthetics, precarity, and what it means to be completely f*cked. In this episode, the HBS crew welcomes Carlos Amador—Associate Professor of Spanish in the Department of Romance Languages and Literature at the University at Buffalo SUNY—for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about lo jodido: the aesthetic, political, and material condition of being well and truly fucked. Drawing on Latin American literature and film, Amador introduces lo jodido not just as a descriptor for individual suffering, but as a cross-cultural, translatable, and recognizable structure of feeling rooted in precarity, immobility, and disillusionment with liberal democratic promises. Alongside lo jodido, he introduces two other categories—el roto and lo huachafo—to map a terrain of contemporary exhaustion and survival.Drawing on Frantz Fanon's articulation of "the wretched of the earth," we dig into how "the fucked" functions not merely as a subject position, but also a way of seeing, feeling, and naming what seems unlivable. Topics include cruel optimism, abjection, the cultural logic of fascism, and whether political possibility requires hope at all. In the end, we ask: what does it mean to live with no outside to capital? And can the category of the fucked help us understand not only where we are, but what might still be possible?Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-178-el-roto-lo-huachafo-lo-jodido-with-carlos-amador-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Today's episode features a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Charles Athanasopoulos, Assistant Professor of African American and African Studies & English at The Ohio State University, about his groundbreaking new book, Black Iconoclasm: Public Symbols, Racial Progress, and Post/Ferguson America. On the show, Alex and Calvin talk with Charles about the intricate relationship he charts between Black freedom struggles, the power of icons (and their destruction), and the complex liminalities of social change in contemporary America. We explore Charles's fresh analysis using his concept of "Black iconoclasm" as a guide - a process of Black radical discernment, which beckons us to constantly questioning established norms and the received wisdom of black liberation and social change more broadly.Our discussion touches upon the personal backdrop that informed Athanasopoulos's work, particularly his religious upbringing, the emergence and mainstreaming of the Black Lives Matter movement during his time as an undergraduate, and some of his observations of the 2020 BLM protests as a graduate student in Pittsburgh. We unpack key concepts from Black Iconoclasm, such as the "twilight of the icons," where the lines between image-making and image-breaking blur. We also explore his insightful application of the work of Frantz Fanon in communication studies, exploring the idea of "Fanonian slips" as accidental rhetorical slippages that reveal deeper investments in racial iconography, using examples like comments from political figures like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, as well as Charles's own experiences. We also examine the visual rhetoric of a BLM mural in Pittsburgh through the lens of Édouard Glissant's "poetics of visual relation," considering the transformations and defacements the mural underwent, and its broader symbolic underpinnings. We conclude by hearing the inspiration behind Charles's creative story of “Black Icarus” that interweaves his chapters, reflecting upon his choice to include an innovative mythopoetic narrative as part of his scholarly work.Charles Athanasopolous's Black Iconoclasm: Public Symbols, Racial Progress, and Post/Ferguson America is available now as a free E-Book from Palgrave Macmillan (via SpringerLink)Works and Concepts Cited in this EpisodeBurke, Kenneth. 1970.

À l'occasion de la semaine de la Francophonie, place à la littérature québécoise avec Mathieu Blais qui publie «Brûler debout», son premier roman à être publié en France.   «Brûler Debout» est un roman haletant aux accents post-apocalyptiques, dans lequel une bande de hors-la-loi ultra-violents traverse le pays, du Nord au Sud, pour semer le chaos partout où ils passent. De ce road-movie sanglant, seul survivra François d'Octobre, le narrateur, qui essaye de comprendre ce qui a motivé cet accès de violence. Brûler debout s'ouvre sur une citation de Frantz Fanon : comment passons-nous de l'atmosphère de violence à la violence en action ? Qu'est-ce qui fait exploser la marmite ? Question qui, selon Mathieu Blais, est LA question de notre époque.  Toute l'histoire du Québec est construite autour de l'histoire de la langueToute l'histoire du Québec est construite autour de l'histoire de la langue. Si on parle encore français en Amérique, c'est parce qu'il y a eu cette défense de la langue qu'on a su maintenir vivante, affirme Mathieu Blais. Ardent francophone, il revendique aussi une «parlure» et un style québécois avec de nombreux néologismes empruntés à l'anglais et un vocabulaire propre à la «Grande Province». Pour les 9 millions de francophones québécois, le roman de Mathieu Blais est transparent mais, pour l'édition française, un lexique a été ajouté pour comprendre le sens de goon ou baise-la-piastre.  Invité : Mathieu Blais, auteur québécois.

À l'occasion de la semaine de la Francophonie, place à la littérature québécoise avec Mathieu Blais qui publie «Brûler debout», son premier roman à être publié en France.   «Brûler Debout» est un roman haletant aux accents post-apocalyptiques, dans lequel une bande de hors-la-loi ultra-violents traverse le pays, du Nord au Sud, pour semer le chaos partout où ils passent. De ce road-movie sanglant, seul survivra François d'Octobre, le narrateur, qui essaye de comprendre ce qui a motivé cet accès de violence. Brûler debout s'ouvre sur une citation de Frantz Fanon : comment passons-nous de l'atmosphère de violence à la violence en action ? Qu'est-ce qui fait exploser la marmite ? Question qui, selon Mathieu Blais, est LA question de notre époque.  Toute l'histoire du Québec est construite autour de l'histoire de la langueToute l'histoire du Québec est construite autour de l'histoire de la langue. Si on parle encore français en Amérique, c'est parce qu'il y a eu cette défense de la langue qu'on a su maintenir vivante, affirme Mathieu Blais. Ardent francophone, il revendique aussi une «parlure» et un style québécois avec de nombreux néologismes empruntés à l'anglais et un vocabulaire propre à la «Grande Province». Pour les 9 millions de francophones québécois, le roman de Mathieu Blais est transparent mais, pour l'édition française, un lexique a été ajouté pour comprendre le sens de goon ou baise-la-piastre.  Invité : Mathieu Blais, auteur québécois.

Send us a textIn this profound and revelatory conversation, Dr. Howard Fuller—civil rights icon, education reformer, and revolutionary—unveils the true origins of the school voucher movement in America. Known as "The Oracle" for his firsthand involvement in nearly every significant Black liberation struggle of the past six decades, Dr. Fuller dismantles popular misconceptions about parent choice programs with powerful clarity.Beginning with the aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education, Dr. Fuller explains how physical integration of schools failed to deliver educational equity for Black students. When Milwaukee's public schools were desegregated in the 1970s, Black schools were closed, Black teachers lost their jobs, and Black educators' perspectives were systemically devalued. Even more disturbing, Dr. Fuller discovered school officials deliberately concealed data showing how poorly Black students were performing within "integrated" schools.The voucher movement, as Dr. Fuller shares from direct experience, wasn't born from conservative free-market ideology but from Black parents and community leaders who had exhausted every other avenue for educational justice. "This was never a free market issue," he explains. "It was a social justice issue." After trying to reform schools from within and being blocked from creating a separate school district for Black neighborhoods, vouchers emerged as a mechanism for liberation and self-determination.What sets Dr. Fuller's perspective apart is his lifelong commitment to what he calls "parent choice" rather than "school choice"—a crucial distinction that centers power with families rather than institutions. Drawing from his extraordinary life experiences—from organizing voter registration in the South to spending time with liberation fighters in Mozambique—Dr. Fuller challenges today's activists and educators to define their mission and determine how they'll fight for justice beyond comfortable theories or social media activism.Whether you're an educator, parent, policymaker, or student of social movements, this conversation will transform your understanding of educational equity and the ongoing struggle for Black liberation. As Dr. Fuller reminds us, quoting Frantz Fanon: "Every generation must discover its mission and either fulfill it or betray it."

This is a preview of the March 4 episode of The Life Shift Podcast. Martha S. Jones shares her journey of navigating identity in this episode. Growing up in a biracial family during the civil rights era, she faced challenges that forced her to confront her sense of belonging. One pivotal moment she recounts is a classroom experience where a classmate openly questioned her right to speak about influential figures such as Frantz Fanon. This incident sparked profound reflections on her identity and how she fit into a world divided by race. Through storytelling, Martha transformed painful experiences into opportunities for growth, discovering healing and humor along the way.

Dalhousie University is holding an event tonight at 7 p.m. to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frantz Fanon. It's called, Liberation Dialogues: Decolonization, Reparations and New Worldmaking and will feature a conversation with Mireille Fanon-Mendès France. She is the daughter of Frantz Fanon, an activist and the chair of the Frantz Fanon Foundation. Mireille spoke with Alex Guye ahead of the event, starting with how relevant Fanon's works still are.

Join hosts Jason and Tony, as well as a new guest, Felicia Maroni, for the finale of Season One. On this episode we discuss Zoltán Korda's 1951 drama Cry, the Beloved Country, a film shot on location in South Africa, starring Canada Lee and Sidney Poitier, which aimed to critique the brutal apartheid system just three years after it was codified into law. The film was based on a novel of the same name by Alan Paton, a white South African, and adapted to the screen by Paton and the blacklisted writer John Howard Lawson, who went uncredited.  Book mentioned: Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1961) Felicia is the host of the wondeful film podcast Seeing Faces in the Movies, which focuses on either a director or cinemtagrapher and how their aesthetic approach changes (or doesn't) across their ouevre.

How does time figure in racial domination? What is the relationship between the capitalist organization of time and racial domination? Could utopian thinking give us ways of understanding our own time and its dominations? In Race, Time, and Utopia: Critical Theory and the Process of Emancipation (Oxford University Press, 2025), William Paris uses the tools of critical theory to draw out the utopian interventions in the works of W.E.B Du Bois, Martin Delany, Marcus Garvey, Frantz Fanon, and James Boggs. Arguing that utopian thinking gives us normative purchase on the problems of our own time, Paris shows not that these historical figures can tell us how or to what end we navigate our current crises. Rather, their insights and failures help us denaturalize our mode of life and develop self-emancipatory practices to realize what is not yet possible under the current conditions of injustice in which we have come to be.

Welcome, everyone, to the 2025 series of lectures in Caribbean Thought at the Jamaica Theological Seminary! Today, we embark on a critical journey, asking: Is there a paradigm to the study of Caribbean Thought or Caribbean Studies. Should there be one, akin to the Afrocentric Paradigm championed by scholars like Dr. Molefi Asante and Dr. Ama Mazama?These are not mere theoretical questions; they challenge the very core of how we understand ourselves as Caribbean people, our place in the world, and our trajectory for the future. While the answers may not be fully realized today, we will begin to explore them as we contend with the idea of a Caribbean that is unique to its people and place, yet constantly shaped by external forces adjudicating its future.The Origins of Caribbean ThoughtWhen the study of Caribbean Thought was first conceived, its aim was largely historical—tracing a trajectory from colonialism to the early 2000s. This timeline often emphasized resistance to imperial domination, the hybridization of culture, and the formation of Caribbean identity. But as our tools of critical analysis and historical understanding have developed, we've uncovered something unsettling:• Our history, as we know it, is limited—if not corrupted.• Much of what we think we know about Africa, the Caribbean, and even religion is a distortion.• The Caribbean itself, as an idea, is an invention—born from colonial economic imperatives, geopolitical interests, and a sociopolitical framework dictated by external powers.In this light, the Caribbean emerges as a hybrid creation, one shaped by the forces of colonialism, globalization, and a lingering supremacist mold. This mold continues to affect the fortunes of Caribbean nations and their people, as evidenced in contemporary global politics—the U.S.-China tensions over Jamaica or Russia's actions in Eastern Europe. These dynamics highlight the persistent vulnerabilities of small nations in a world dominated by superpowers.The Invention of the CaribbeanIf the Caribbean is an invention, then we must interrogate the narratives handed down to us:• What is the Caribbean?• Is it merely a product of colonial extraction and hybridity?• Can it reclaim its agency by articulating its own paradigms of identity and thought?The answer lies in examining our cultural, historical, and spiritual foundations. Too often, the Caribbean has been defined against Africa, adopting European paradigms that denounce African spirituality and philosophies in favor of Eurocentric frameworks. These same frameworks perpetuated ideas of Africa—and by extension, Blackness—that are steeped in oppression, degradation, and dehumanization.To be Black in this logic is to be othered, associated with negativity, and subjected to oppression. But must we begin the history of the Caribbean from colonial trauma?Rethinking Caribbean ThoughtBorrowing from Afrocentrism, perhaps the solution is to begin, as Frantz Fanon suggested, with a tabula rasa—a blank slate. Yet, even as we acknowledge the damage wrought by colonialism, we must recognize that our history is not solely one of victimhood. It is also a history of triumph and resilience, stretching back to the civilizations of Kamit (ancient Egypt) and beyond.While the Afrocentric Paradigm centers Africa in the study of African peoples and their place in the world, Caribbean Thought must grapple with its own complex hybridity. It cannot simply adopt Afrocentricity wholesale but must instead forge its own epistemology and axiology—one that:• Recognizes the intersections of African, European, Asian, and Indigenous influences in the Caribbean experience.• Centers the Caribbean people's agency, starting not from oppression but from resistance and victory.• Seeks to reclaim a sense of identity that is neither derivative of Africa nor Europe but un...

Frantz Fanon ist eine Ikone der antikolonialen Revolutionen der 1960er-Jahre. Sein Buch “Die Verdammten dieser Erde” ist millionenfach gelesen, kommentiert, bewundert, aber auch kritisiert worden – heißt Fanon doch revolutionäre Gewalt gut.Bis heute berufen sich soziale Bewegungen auf Fanon – von “Black Lives Matter” bis hin zu pro-palästinensischen Gruppen. Der prominente amerikanische Autor und Journalist Adam Shatz hat eine Biografie des Rebellen Fanon verfasst (“The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon”).Wie ihm die Idee kam, dieses Buch über Frantz Fanon zu schreiben, erzählt er Tessa Szyszkowitz in einem auf englisch geführten Gespräch im Bruno Kreisky Forum Wien.

On this episode, J.J. Mull interviews scholar and historian Camille Robcis. In her most recent book, Disalienation: Politics, Philosophy, and Radical Psychiatry in Postwar France (University of Chicago Press, 2021), Robcis grapples with the historical, intellectual, psychiatric and psychoanalytic meaning of institutional psychotherapy as articulated at Saint-Alban Hospital in France by exploring the movement's key thinkers, including François Tosquelles, Frantz Fanon, Félix Guattari, and Michel Foucault. Anchored in the history of one hospital, Robcis's study draws on a wide geographic context—revolutionary Spain, occupied France, colonial Algeria, and beyond—and charts the movement's place within a broad political-economic landscape, from fascism to Stalinism to postwar capitalism.

In this episode on Speaking Out of Place podcast Professor David Palumbo-Liu talks with Huda Fakhreddine and Anthony Alessandrini about the unique manners in which literature can disclose the human significance of the historical and ongoing genocide in Palestine. Such revelation has to fight at least two things—the sheer brutality and inhumanity of this violence, and the active silencing of Palestinian voices by institutions that, ironically, profess to champion the humanities. Here, once again, we find a pernicious instantiation of the Palestine Exception. Despite these efforts to censor and silence, Huda and Tony delve deeply into the power of Palestinian poetry through translations and readings of some of the most remarkable literature in the world.Anthony Alessandrini teaches English at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn and Middle Eastern Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he is also a member of the Committee on Globalization and Social Change. He is the author of Decolonize Multiculturalism and of Frantz Fanon and the Future of Cultural Politics; the editor of Frantz Fanon: Critical Perspectives; and the co-editor of “Resistance Everywhere”: The Gezi Protests and Dissident Visions of Turkey. He has also published a poetry chapbook, Children Imitating Cormorants. He is a Co-Editor of Jadaliyya, is on the Board of Directors of the Middle East Studies Association, is on the faculty of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, is a co-convener of the International Solidarity Action Research Network, serves as chair of his union's Academic Freedom Committee, and is a proud member of CUNY Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. Huda J. Fakhreddine is a writer, translator, and Associate Professor of Arabic Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of Metapoesis in the Arabic Tradition (Brill, 2015) and The Arabic Prose Poem: Poetic Theory and Practice (Edinburgh University Press, 2021), as well as the co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Poetry (Routledge, 2023).

Do you need black skin to be Black? How might concepts such as white privilege be limiting our understanding of how racism works? In Episode 117 of Overthink, Ellie and David chat with philosopher Lewis Gordon about his book, Fear of Black Consciousness. They talk through the history of anti-Black racism, the existential concept of bad faith, why Rachel Dolezal might have Black consciousness, and Frantz Fanon's experience of being called a racial slur by a white child on a train. From the American Blues to the Caribbean movement of Negritude, this episode is full of insight into Black liberation and White centeredness. In the bonus, Ellie and David go into greater detail about how Black liberation is connected to love.Check out the episode's extended cut here!Works Discussed: Steve Bantu Biko, I Write What I LikeW.E.B.
