E-grāmata: Frantz Fanon: A Biography

This year's biographical tour de force. * New Statesman * Macey's richly informative and engaging biography provides the historical, social and cultural context that is essential for understanding this passionate and courageous intellectual. * Washington Post * A prodigiously researched, absorbing book about the mind and the passion of a twentieth-century revolutionary. * New York Times Book Review * ... stands in a class of its own. It is unmatched in its care and attention to detail, in its author's knowledge of the multiple intellectual, cultural and political contexts in which the man moved * New Humanist * Not just a lucid and well-researched account of the man and his works, it is one of the best books about contemporary history to have been published in recent years. * Literary Review * Invaluable to scholars ... an excellent guide. * Publishers Weekly * A valuable and comprehensive introduction to the man and his work. David Macey is certainly someone who knows Fanon and the context extremely well and he writes lucidly and informa- tively. For anyone interested in the Algerian war, colonialism or Fanon himself, this really is a must-read. * Morning Star * One cannot write about Algeria without reading Fanon's political works ... [ and] Macey explores them brilliantly -- Peter Salmon * Guardian *
