Nigel C. Gibson is Professor of African Studies at Emerson College, Boston, and an expert in the fields of Africana thought and postcolonialism. He is recognized as one of the leading scholars on Frantz Fanon and has authored numerous books on Fanon’s thought.
“This book compels readers to step into ‘the glare of history’s floodlights.’ Nigel Gibson expertly explores Fanon’s philosophy of liberation and makes a riveting plea for us to listen to Fanon across the ages. Each generation can and should find its revolution ‘no longer in future heaven,’ but within their own collective consciousness.” Jane Anna Gordon, author of Statelessness and Contemporary Enslavement “Gibson excavates Fanon like no other scholar. This book is a truly great read, and a masterful rendering of how and why Fanon keeps coming to life during revolutionary turning points in ever more diverse and comprehensive ways.” Lou Turner, co-author of Frantz Fanon, Soweto and Black American Thought
