'Frantz Fanon: Conflicts and Feminisms' - A review

by Camalita Naicker

“I sincerely believe that subjective experience can be understood by others; and it would give me no pleasure to announce that the black problem is my problem and mine alone and that it is up to me to study it. But it does seem to me that M.Mannoni has not tried to feel himself into the despair of the man of colour confronting the white man. Physically and affectively”. (Frantz Fanon 1967: 63/64).

It is in a similar vein that Tracey Denean Sharpley – Whiting makes her argument against the blunt assertions of, what she terms, ‘Liberal Euro -American Lit-Crit Feminism’ which labels Fanon among other things, a misogynist.

Frantz Fanon: Conflicts and Feminisms, by T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting

Frantz Fanon: Conflicts and Feminisms represents a bold examination of previous feminist criticisms of Fanon and argues that Fanon's writings on women and resistance provide the formative kernels of a liberating praxis for women existing under colonial and neocolonial oppression.

Fanon and Feminism

by Laurie Cashdan, News & Letters

T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting. Frantz Fanon: Conflicts & Feminisms. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield, 1998.

Tracy Sharpley-Whiting's new book on conflicting attitudes of feminists to the Martinican revolutionary philosopher Frantz Fanon is sure to stir up new controversies regarding the value of Fanon's writings for feminism. We cannot afford to allow anti-Fanon feminist arguments to remain unchallenged, she shows, if we are to work out a radical humanist vision for today.
