Why Fanon, why now? For the wretched of the earth, conditions have not improved since Fanon's time and in some cases they have worsened. Reason and revolt are inescapable, quite simply because, as Fanon wrote, it has become 'impossible for them to breathe, in more than one sense of the word'. To mark the sixtieth anniversary of Fanon's death (in 1961), the contributors to this book address the resonances of Fanon's thinking on movements of resistance and mass revolutionary uprisings occurring in response to repression or state violence in Algeria, Brazil, Ghana, Ireland, Kenya, Pakistan, Palestine, Portugal, South Africa, Syria, Trinidad, USA and beyond. The driving force of each chapter of this unique collection of writings is Fanonian praxis, engaging with Fanon the thinker and Fanon the revolutionary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGibson, Nigel C.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Nigel C.
