Description: With the growth of interest in postcolonialism, we return to Frantz Fanon, a leading theorist of the struggle against colonialism. 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. Fanon's Dialectic Of Experience 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 Phenomenology of Spirit. 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.
