We will be discussing the ways in which understanding Fanon is critical to
developing mass movements that are inclusive, committed to anti-oppression
practices and attempt to eliminate white supremacy.

We will ground the examination of Fanon’s ideas in activist practice and
attempt to rescue him from the realm of academia!

The three readings chosen for this session are :

1. Fanon, Frantz. “The So-Called Dependency Syndrome of Colonized
People’s” in Black Skin, White Masks.
2. Strickland, William. Frantz Fanon: His Life and Work.
3. Kane, Nazneen. Frantz Fanon Theory of Racialization: Implications for
Globalization.
