Parution : POMEPS Studies 53, “Frantz Fanon in the Middle East”, George Washington University, October 2024
Inspired by the emergence over the previous decade of this diverse theoretical and historical literature on Fanon in the Middle East, POMEPS and the Centre d’Etudes Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT)’s Laryssa Chomiak, along with Jillian Schwedler and Lisa Wedeen, convened a workshop on Fanon in late September 2023 – the first POMEPS workshop focused on political theory. The focus on Fanon furthermore continues our efforts at POMEPS to break down artificial barriers between the Middle East and Africa, and between Middle East Studies and the broader discipline. The choice of location was intentional: much of Fanon’s revolutionary writing was done in Tunis, after he was deported from French Algeria for his work with the FLN, and he continues to be revered among Tunisian intellectuals and the broader public. While Fanon wrote for a global audience, he was firmly situated in a North African context and embodied the complex interactions between those countries both with France and with decolonizing Africa: Fanon’s work engages heavily with French philosophers, his career began in France, and his work for the FLN included both diplomatic missions to the Sahel and West Africa.
