Episode 210: Frantz Fanon's Black Existentialism (Part One) - a podcast by Mark Linsenmayer
from 2019-02-25T15:15
On Black Skin White Masks (1952).
How does growing up in a racist society mess people up? Fanon's "clinical study" includes phenomenology, poetry, and a lot of existentialism, which means that the "let's embrace negritude in the face of bigotry" solution isn't ultimately available to him: We're all radically free, with no race-specific essence, whether positive or negative. With guest Lawrence Ware.
