 | Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology Subjects: Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; Language & Literature; Social Sciences; Psychological Science; Mental Health; Cultural Studies; Literature; Sociology & Social Policy; Philosophy of Psychology; Psychoanalysis; Race & Ethnicity; Literary/ Critical Theory; Social Psychology; Race & Ethnic Studies; Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology is the first edited collection dedicated to exploring the explicitly phenomenological foundations underlying Frantz Fanon's most important insights. Featuring contributions from many of the world's leading scholars on Fanon, this volume foregrounds a series of crucial phenomenological topics - inclusive of the domains of experience, structure, embodiment, and temporality - pertaining to the analysis and interrogation of racism and anti-Blackness. Chapters highlight and expand Fanon's ongoing importance to the discipline of psychology while opening compelling new perspectives on psychopathology, decolonial praxis, racialized time, whiteness, Black subjectivity, the "racial ontologizing of the body," systematic structures of racism and resulting forms of trauma, Black Consciousness, and Africana phenomenology. In an era characterized by resurgent forms of anti-Blackness and racism, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists who remain inspired by Fanon's legacy.
