Reviews

'An iconoclastic exegesis of Fanon's life and work. In what is sure to become a classic text, Hudis shows himself to be one of the most important thinkers of our generation'
*Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies at Chapman University*

'If you are new to Fanon or you are returning to his work, Peter Hudis' biography is a must read!'
*Lenore Daniels, PhD, theorist, writer, activist*

'A lively and provocative reading of Fanon's life and work that challenges many of the more recent interpretations of this major figure'
*Paget Henry, Professor of Sociology at Brown University*

'A wonderful introduction to the life and work of Frantz Fanon'
*Morning Star*
