Frantz Fanon And The Afterlives Of Colonialism In The Americas: Race, Resistance, And The Decolonial Turn In American Studies
Authors : Dekhakhena Abdelkrim .
Abstract
This article analyzes Frantz Fanon's impact on American Studies via his critiques of colonial oppression, racial identity, and revolutionary conflict. It examines how Fanon's ideas, such as the "zone of non-being," relate to U.S. racial structures, the legacies of slavery, and Indigenous/Afro-diasporic resistance. Utilizing intersectional and decolonial frameworks, the study examines Fanon's interactions with Black radical thought and Latin American scholarship. The article illustrates how Fanon's theories reveal persistent colonial logics throughout the Americas, while providing instruments to contest systemic racism and neoliberal oppression, thereby advancing visions of liberation and equity.
