This book focuses on a reading of Frantz Fanon's work and life,
asking how the work of a revolutionary writer such as Fanon might
be best appropriated for contemporary political and cultural
issues. Separate chapters introduce Fanon's life and examine the
question of Fanon as our contemporary; review the field of "Fanon
studies" that has grown up around his work; bring Fanon into
conversation with the critical contemporary figures Edward Said,
Michel Foucault, Jamaica Kincaid, and Paul Gilroy; and turn to
Fanon's work to think through the contemporary popular uprisings
that have come to be known as the "Arab Spring." The book concludes
by arguing that a reevaluation of Fanon's life and work can provide
us with a particular set of lessons about solidarity-lessons that
are crucial for the contemporary political struggles that face us
today and that will continue to confront us in the future. Finding
Something Different: Frantz Fanon and the Future of Cultural
Politics is inspired by Fanon's unsparing struggle against the
depredations of racism and colonialism, and his lifelong commitment
to finding something different.
