Through examining Douglass's and Fanon's concrete experiences of
oppression, Cynthia R. Nielsen demonstrates the empirical validity
of Foucault's theoretical analyses concerning power, resistance,
and subject-formation. Going beyond merely confirming Foucault's
insights, Douglass and Fanon expand, strengthen, and offer
correctives to the emancipatory dimensions of Foucault's project.
Unlike Foucault, Douglass and Fanon were not hesitant to make
transhistorical judgments condemning slavery and colonization.
Foucault's reticence here signals a weakness in his account of
human being. This weakness sets him at cross-purposes not only with
Scotus, but also with Douglass and Fanon. Scotus's anthropology
provides a basis for transhistorical moral critique; thus he is a
valuable dialogue partner for those concerned about social justice
and human flourishing.
