Please join us for the next BPSI READS:
Monday, August 9, 2021
7:00-8:00 pm
Frantz Fanon, Part II
Facilitator: Nigel Gibson, PhD
Reading: Frantz Fanon, Psychiatry, and Politics
Nigel C. Gibson and Roberto Beneduce, editors
Introduction
Optional Reading: Chapter 8
|
|
This BPSI READS meeting will continue our conversation on Frantz Fanon. Our text will be the introduction to the co-authored volume, with Roberto Beneduce, Frantz Fanon, Psychiatry and Politics (2017), where they discuss Fanon's psychiatric work as part of his anticolonial and revolutionary humanist praxis. We will use the reading to join together, to discuss Fanon in our contemporary world.
For those who were unable to join us in June, we invite you to read an introductory text from Black Skin, White Masks, the phenomenological chapter, "The Lived Experience of the Black Man". Written 70 years ago and first published in 1951 before the publication of Black Skin, White Masks, is very much grounded in its moment and this chapter has become a classic which remains important to thinking about anti-racist theory and practice.
Chapter 5: The Lived Experience of the Black Man
