{"product_id":"9781776146239","title":"Violence, Slavery and Freedom between Hegel and Fanon","description":"A deep dive into the influences of Hegelian thought on the work of revolutionary and postcolonial theorist Frantz Fanon\n\nHegel 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.\n\nThe essays in this collection offer close readings of Hegel’s 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.","brand":"Booksite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39357947150451,"sku":"9781776146239","price":333.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/violence-slavery-and-freedom-between-he-books-28231390330995.jpg?v=1638282434","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.co.za\/products\/9781776146239","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
