Description
Frantz Fanon: Conflicts and Feminisms represents a bold examination of previous feminist criticisms of Fanon and argues that Fanon's writings on women and resistance provide the formative kernels of a liberating praxis for women existing under colonial and neocolonial oppression. Sharpley-Whiting skillfully brings together approaches from a broad range of academic fields, including critical race theory, literary and cultural criticism, and psychoanalysis as she assesses the relevance of Fanon's theories of oppression to a feminist politics of resistance.

Reviews
-
This work takes feminist critiques of Fanon to a new level. It achieves this goal through its close attention to the subtlety of Fanon's dialectics, its scholarship, and its good judgment. Her book is not only a valuable contribution to Fanon studies, but by far and away the best feminist reading of Fanon to date.
