Aprašymas

How can Frantz Fanon's revolutionary ideas transform modern antiracist education?

The Pedagogy of Frantz Fanon provides a pathbreaking framework for educators to address systemic racism in schools by applying the life and work of the iconic Afro-Caribbean psychiatrist to the field of education. By isolating specific concepts chapter-by-chapter, this book explores how Fanon's ideas can be used to denounce oppression and develop an approach to schooling grounded in liberatory practices.

This book fills a critical void by drilling down into specific Fanonian concepts of violence, time, space, and the human to explain Black experiences with racialization and colonial rule. In an era of prohibitive anti-CRT campaigns and book bans, Fanon's unflinching social critique offers a timely diagnostic tool for the racial politics of modern society.

Leonardo synthesizes Fanon's insights to demystify "herrenvolk schooling," a Manichean system that affirms the worth of one population while denying it to others. He points to a new, humanizing vision for education, providing a roadmap for educators to foster students who do not flinch at the future but actively anticipate it.

Key Features:

• Theories of Antiblackness: Analyzes the structure of anti-Black racism and the harm perpetuated by racial exclusion in current U.S. and global contexts.
• Conceptual Deep-Dive: Uses a unique modular structure where each chapter isolates a single concept, such as violence, time, space, and the future of the human. It also leverages ideas like "triple consciousness."
• Comparative Analysis: Contrasts Fanon's ideas with other influential thought leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois and Charles Mills.
• Interdisciplinary Scope: Bridges insights from the humanities, social sciences, and philosophy to provide a multilayered analysis of racialization.
• Visionary Pedagogy: Moves beyond critique to offer "critical hope," dreaming of a new education that produces a liberated human.

This text is designed for university students, instructors, and scholars across disciplines including Critical Race Theory, Sociology of Education, Ethnic Studies, and Philosophy of Education. It is also a vital resource for practitioners and activists seeking to build a more just social order.
