Synopsis "Violence, Slavery and Freedom Between Hegel and Fanon"

A deep dive into the influences of Hegelian thought on the work of revolutionary and postcolonial theorist Frantz FanonHegel is most often mentioned and not without good reason as one of the paradigmatic exponents of Eurocentrism and racism in Western philosophy. But his thought also played a crucial and formative role in the work of one of the iconic thinkers of the decolonial turn, Frantz Fanon. This would be inexplicable if it were not for the much-quoted lord-bondsman dialectic frequently referred to as the master-slave dialectic described in Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit. Fanon takes up this dialectic negatively in contexts of violence-riven (post-)slavery and colonialism; yet in works such as Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth he upholds a Hegelian-inspired vision of freedom.The essays in this collection offer close readings of Hegels text, and of responses to it in the work of twentieth-century philosophers, that highlight the entangled history of the translations, transpositions and transformations of Hegel in the work of Fanon, and more generally in colonial, postcolonial and decolonial contexts.
