But his thought also played a crucial and formative role in the work of one of the iconic thinkers of the ‘decolonial turn’, Frantz Fanon. This would be inexplicable if it were not for the much-quoted ‘lord-bondsman’ dialectic – frequently referred to as the ‘master-slave dialectic’ – described in Hegel's \u003ci\u003eThe Phenomenology of Spirit.\u003c\/i\u003e Fanon takes up this dialectic negatively in contexts of violence-riven (post-)slavery and colonialism; yet in works such as \u003ci\u003eBlack Skin, White Masks \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Wretched of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e he upholds a Hegelian-inspired vision of freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays in this collection offer close readings of Hegel’s text, and of responses to it in the work of twentieth-century philosophers, that highlight the entangled history of the translations, transpositions and transformations of Hegel in the work of Fanon, and more generally in colonial, postcolonial and decolonial contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ulrike Kistner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48088734433531,"sku":"9781776146253","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_70d46b1f-46b6-47c0-af71-89e61c83f980.jpg?v=1770442579","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/violence-slavery-and-freedom-between-hegel-and-fanon-9781776146253","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
