Fanon is one of the foremost theorists of race and decolonization in the 20th century. Today, we are no longer under the Cold War, racism is taking a new turn, and the technification of society may make us believe that reading Fanon may have historical interest but be irrelevant to deal with issues brought about by globalization and the network society. This seminar combines readings in the humanities and social sciences, along with Frantz Fanon's texts on decolonization, society, and subjectivity, in order to imagine a more just, democratic, and "human" society. Also listed as Ethnic Studies C170.
