Meditations on Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth


Free Download Meditations on Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth By James Yaki Sayles
2010 | 201 Pages | ISBN: 1894946324 | PDF | 80 MB
‘This exercise is about more than our desire to read and understand Wretched (as if it were about some abstract world, and not our own); it’s about more than our need to understand (the failures of) the anti-colonial struggles on the African continent. This exercise is also about us, and about some of the things that We need to understand and to change in ourselves and our world.’-James Yaki Sayles One of those who eagerly picked up Fanon in the 60s, who carried out armed expropriations and violence against white settlers, Sayles reveals how, behind the image of Fanon as race thinker, there is an underlying reality of antiracist communist thought.

Cultural Studies. African American Studies. Visual Arts. THE FACT OF BLACKNESS: FRANTZ FANON AND VISUAL REPRESENTATION is a collection of essays that create a far-reaching and original dialogue between cultural theory and visual practice. The rich insights which emerge from this collection explain why Frantz Fanon’s seminal texts of the 1950s and 60s, Black Skin White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, have re-emerged at the forefront of postcolonial studies. Ranging between the contemporary politics of location, everyday traumas of social inequality, and the structures and technologies of representation, these dialogues re-affirm the contention of Fanon’s writings: that narrative, the media, image and symbol lie at the very heart of the practice of politics and social knowledge. Includes essays by Homi K. Bhabha, Stuart Hill, bell hooks, Kobena Mercer, Françoise Vergès, Lola Young, and many others.

Free Download Joby Fanon, "Frantz Fanon, My Brother: Doctor, Playwright, Revolutionary "
English | ISBN: 0739180487 | 2014 | 156 pages | MOBI | 328 KB
The short, but remarkable, life of Frantz Fanon has attracted several biographers, all of whom have relied on Fanon’s older brother, Joby, for information on Fanon’s early life. Dissatisfied with these portrayals, Joby decided to tell the story of his brother in his own words with a richness of detail not found in any other work. Translated into English by Daniel Nethery, this is an intimate, passionate, and very human account of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century.

English | ISBN: 1786613484 | 2022 | 208 pages | EPUB, PDF | 376 KB + 2 MB
Focusing on the contributions of Frantz Fanon’s writing to the construction of a theory of the postcolonial subject, this book engages post-structuralist discussions on subjectivity and explores the most important readings and discussions of Fanon’s work. Problems such as historicity, contingency, and the positions of the subject in postcolonial contexts receive special attention together with phenomenological approaches to Fanonian writing. The central idea is to give Fanon a privileged place in social, political, and cultural analysis.

The Executioner’s Journal Meister Frantz Schmidt of the Imperial City of Nuremberg


Free Download Frantz Schmidt, "The Executioner’s Journal: Meister Frantz Schmidt of the Imperial City of Nuremberg"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0813938694, 0813938708 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 4.4 mb
During a career lasting nearly half a century, Meister Frantz Schmidt (1554-1634) personally put to death 392 individuals and tortured, flogged, or disfigured hundreds more. The remarkable number of victims, as well as the officially sanctioned context in which they suffered at Schmidt’s hands, was the story of Joel Harrington’s much-discussed book The Faithful Executioner. The foundation of that celebrated work was Schmidt’s own journal-notable not only for the shocking story it told but, in an age when people rarely kept diaries, for its mere existence.
