| Summary |
Written in celebration of Frantz Fanon's seventieth birthday, Lewis Gordon's Fanon and the Crisis of European Man engages with the work of Fanon in novel and interesting ways. As the first to analzye the work of Fanon as an existential-phenomenological of human sciences and liberation philosopher, Gordon deploys Fanon's work to illuminate how the "bad faith" of European science and civilization have philosophically stymied the project of liberation. Fanon's body of work serves as a critique of European science and society, and shows the ways in which the project of "truth" is compromised by Eurocentric artificially narrowed scope of humanity --a circumstance to which he refers as the crisis of European Man |
