Frantz Fanon: Voices of Liberation by Mireille Fanon-Mendès-France, Leo Zeilig
5.0
This was really well compiled and serves as a great primer for Fanon and his thinking. It is almost frightening how he clear of a vision/warning he held of what the future could look like should nations pass from liberation to neo-liberalism. This feels like a book that I’ll need to reread a few times to feel like I’ve actually absorbed the material!
He talks about how political education and social consciousness must be prioritized in order for countries to successfully shift away from the slippery slope on nationalism/ultra-nationalism, and without that, how power can become concentrated again, and the national bourgeoise could become power players, capital extractors, and conductors of neocolonialism in place of white colonialism. Reallllllly excited to fully read Wretched of the Earth (this compilation pulls a few chapters from it) now that it’s been teased out!!
