DESCRIPTION:Frantz Fanon (1926-61) is widely considered one of the most im
 portant anti-colonial theorists of the twentieth century.  Today we are wi
 tnessing a resurgence of interest in his contributions to philosophy\, psy
 chology and revolutionary theory in light of such realities as persistent 
 racial discrimination in the West\, the rise of religious fundamentalism\,
  and the social crises enveloping much of the developing world. This talk 
 will re-examine Fanon’s contributions to ongoing debates over race\, rac
 ism\, and recognition in light of the intellectual sources that motivated 
 much of his work—especially Marxist theory and Hegelian philosophy.\n\n\
 nPeter Hudis is author of Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades (Plu
 to Press\, 2015) and Marx’s Concept of the Alternative to Capitalism (Br
 ill\, 2012).  He has edited or co-edited numerous works\, including The Po
 wer of Negativity: Selected Writings on the Dialectic of Hegel and Marx\, 
 by Raya Dunayevskaya (Lexington\, 1992) and The Rosa Luxemburg Reader (Mon
 thly Review Books\, 2006). He is currently general editor of The Complete 
 Works of Rosa Luxemburg\, which will make all of her work available in 14 
 volumes (3 volumes have appeared so far). He is Professor of Philosophy an
 d Humanities at Oakton Community College in the U.S.\n
