In this thorough reinterpretation of Fanon's texts, Ato Sekyi-Otu ensures that we return to him fully aware of the unsuspected formal complexity and substantive richness of his work. A Caribbean psychiatrist trained in France after World War II and an eloquent observer of the effects of French colonialism on its subjects from Algeria to Indochina, Fanon was a controversial figure--advocating national liberation and resistance to colonial power in his bestsellers, \u003ci\u003eBlack Skin, White Masks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wretched of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the controversies attending his life--and death, which some ascribed to the CIA--are small in comparison to those surrounding his work. Where admirers and detractors alike have seen his ideas as an incoherent mixture of Existentialism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis, Sekyi-Otu restores order to Fanon's oeuvre by reading it as one dramatic dialectical narrative.\u003ci\u003eFanon's Dialectic of Experience\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to see Fanon as a dramatist enacting a movement of experience--the drama of social agents in the colonial context and its aftermath--in a manner idiosyncratically patterned on the narrative structure of Hegel's \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology of Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e. By recognizing the centrality of experience to Fanon's work, Sekyi-Otu allows us to comprehend this much misunderstood figure within the tradition of political philosophy from Aristotle to Arendt.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the growth of interest in postcolonialism, we return to Frantz Fanon, a leading theorist of the struggle against colonialism.
