The rebirth of Fanonism today in universities and the English-speaking world is a testament to his relevance. Edited by distinguished Fanon scholar Nigel C. Gibson, Rethinking Fanon: The Continuing Dialogue, first published in 1999, has become a classic, grounding new discussions of Fanon and cultural, postcolonial, Africana and gender studies with earlier African and African American dialogues. The bookopens with an authoritative biography by the Ghanaian political scientist Emmanuel Hansen, which corrects fallacious assertions about Fanon's life, situating him in Marxism, Negritude, Pan-Africanism, and the historical context of postwar decolonization, specifically the Algerian revolution. Section one is highlighted by extended discussions of Fanon's theories on revolution and "true liberation," including Fanon's revolutionary psychiatry by Hussein A. Bulhan, now the President of the Frantz Fanon University, and discussions of Fanon's dialectic of liberation by African American theorist Tony Martin, and Marxist-Humanists, John Alan and Lou Turner. The next section examines Fanon's re-emergence in postcolonial studies in British and American universities with now classic chapters by Homi K. Bhabha, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Edward W. Said and Benita Parry. The third section, "Fanon, Gender, and National Consciousness" includes chapters by Anne McClintock, Diana Fuss and T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting remain important to the ongoing debates about identity and agency. This excellent collection reflects the continuing impact of Fanon's thought on Africana studies, feminism and sexuality studies, postcolonialism, decolonial, and cultural studies.
