About this book
Reviews
"A highly important work that illustrates the relevance of Fanon's philosophy of liberation to the socio-economic and political developments in South Africa" - African Studies Quarterly
"Gibson's book is another serious piece of work on the state of post-apartheid South African society, which critics of the negotiated settlement that ended apartheid insist remains in the economic inequality that characterised the apartheid era." - Commonwealth and Comparative Politics
"This is a refreshing and imaginative reading of Frantz Fanon's groundbreaking thoughts regarding the theory and practice of revolutionary transformation. Nigel Gibson has found an exciting voice to re-energise the transformation discourse in post-apartheid South Africa." - City Press
"This book is of great value ... Gibson has also shown how a critique of independence at another time and place in Africa can aid our understanding of the current predicament." - New Agenda
"Gibson provides an analytical paradigm and a convincing argument that Fanon remains current and compatible with contemporary realities. Recommended." - CHOICE
"The book contains much of considerable theoretical value from one of the world's foremost Fanon scholars." - Psychology in Society
