- Abstract:
- This essay concerns the significance of phenomenology in Frantz Fanon’s thought and its influence on the autobiographic and ethnographic contours of his study, Black Skin, White Masks. Of note is Fanon’s movement between metaphor and phenomenology, especially as concerns figures of the hand and the body, and how his narratological treatment of these figures, both with respect to himself and the Antillean, reveals to us a new understanding of the place of language, time, and action in Fanon’s thought and contemporary literary and postcolonial race theory and criticism.
