Reviews
This is an exciting, and perhaps for some controversial, book. With a nuanced sensibility to the originality of Fanon's thought, Bird-Pollan challenges us to rethink the importance of Freud's metapsychology (especially the Oedipus complex) and Hegel's dialectic of recognition on Fanon's thinking about emancipation. -- Nigel C. Gibson, Associate Professor, Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies, Emerson College
Bird-Pollan offers an agile analysis of the relationship between negativity and self-integration in Hegel, Freud, and Fanon, challenging the by now standard idea that fragmentation is intrinsic to human subjectivity, and making a strong case for a socio-political understanding of traumatization. -- Mari Ruti, Professor of Critical Theory, University of Toronto
