"Fanon's anti-colonial treatise, written against the backdrop of the Algerians' struggle for independence from France, was squeezed into the tail end of the two-hour lecture."
"I just want to caution you against thinking of Fanon as the bloodthirsty celebrator of violence he's often made out to be."
"That same sentiment seems to have made its way to center stage in the months since October 2023, crowding out an honest, intellectual reappraisal of Fanon's work."
"The argument goes that Jean-Paul Sartre's infamous, incendiary preface to The Wretched of the Earth ran away with the book, and served to associate Fanon chiefly with the glorification of violence."
