The Negro Who Cites Montesquieu Must Be Watched (The Frantz Fanon Episode) w/ Dr. Christopher J. Lee
Update: 2018-06-17
Description
I chat with Lafayette College professor, Dr. Christopher J. Lee, about the life and works of my all-time favorite revolutionary, Frantz Fanon. Dr. Lee penned Frantz Fanon: Toward A Revolutionary Humanism (2015), a synoptical work touching on Fanon's upper middle class upbringing on the island of Martinique, his days as an advocate and leading ideologue behind Algeria's armed resistance against France and everything in between. We go far and wide in this conversation and delve into how Fanon's work is relevant today.
