Frantz Fanon's writing has significantly contributed to the development of a theory of the postcolonial subject, engaging with post-structuralist discussions on subjectivity and exploring the most important readings and discussions of Fanon's work. The book focuses on problems such as historicity, contingency, and the positions of the subject in postcolonial contexts, as well as phenomenological approaches to Fanonian writing. The central idea is to give Fanon a privileged place in social, political, and cultural analysis. The objectives of the book are to insert Fanon's texts into contemporary critical theory on modernity and coloniality and to incorporate Fanon into the epistemological and conceptual context of the academy. This innovative work allows us to understand Fanon's writing as key to linking the experiences and critical developments between the global south and the global north.
