Fanon, postcolonialism and the ethics of difference offers a new reading of Fanon' s work challenging many of the reconstructions of Fanon in critical and postcolonial theory and in cultural studies, probing a host of crucial issues: the intersectionality of gender and colonial politics; the biopolitics of colonialism; Marxism and decolonisation; tradition, translation and humanism. It will be of particular value to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as to academics interested in Fanon and postcolonial studies generally.
' With this refreshing and, on occasion, provocative book, Azzedine Haddour confirms his reputation as one of the most searching and effective readers of Fanon today. Challenging many of the received ideas about his subject, Haddour' s aim is to engage more holistically with Fanon' s humanism and its ethical preoccupations across his life and writing. The result is a highly original contribution that manages to entertain a plurality of perspective. Essential reading for all those interested in the historical emergence of postcolonial thought and in its contemporary resonances. ' Charles Forsdick, James Barrow Professor of French at the University of Liverpool ' We are nothing on earth if we are not, first of all, slaves of a cause, the cause of the people, the cause of justice, the cause of liberty". Recalling these powerful late words of Frantz Fanon, Haddour provocatively resituates Fanon at once historically in terms of his own cultural, social and political environment, whilst also engaging deeply with more recent critics of Fanon who claim him for the politics of difference or the lumpenproletariat. Haddour shows us that while Fanon focuses throughout his work on the always paradoxical and contradictory forms of alienation under which he lived, he was above all an ethical thinker: anti-racist, humanist and internationalist. ' Robert JC Young, Julius Silver Professor of English and Comparative Literature at New York University -- .
