Part three of BFMAF Focus Strand, Ways of Seeing Fanon, this in-conversation event explores the work of political philosopher and psychiatrist Franz Fanon through the lens of the region he was radicalized in: Africa, and the Arabic-speaking region.

Doing so, entails highlighting the region’s liberation struggles alongside the principle of neocolonialism, a term Fanon re-defines in the third chapter of his final testament Les damnés de la terre (The Wretched of the Earth). He positions neocolonialism as a state in which bourgeois elites who once struggled for Algeria’s independence would later follow in the footsteps of their enemies, the colonisers.
