Here, leading Fanon scholar Azzedine Haddour explores themes of gender, revolutionary struggle, and decolonisation in the first comprehensive study of Fanon's lesser-known work, \u003ci\u003eStudies in a Dying Colonialism\u003c\/i\u003e (1959). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing on archival material, the author explores the historical developments that determined the colonial consensus and the social transformation prompted by the Algerian liberation struggle. Haddour engages with the biopolitics of French colonialism to support Fanon's claim that the medical establishment acted in complicity with colonialism. He recounts various assimilationist laws that resulted in the gendering of colonial space and shows how the wars alter the perception of the colonised population through modern Western technologies like the radio. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In an era where global struggles for independence and self-determination persist, this book is a fascinating new journey into the mind of a groundbreaking philosopher and icon of revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAzzedine Haddour\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in Francophone and Comparative Literature at University College London.
