This book provides an innovative look at the reception of Frantz
Fanon's texts, investigating how, when, where and why
these-especially his seminal Les Damnes de la Terre (1961) -were
first translated and read. Building on renewed interest in the
author's works in both postcolonial studies and revolutionary
movements in recent years, as well as travelling theory,
micro-history and histoire croisee interests in Translation
Studies, the volume tells the stories of translations of Fanon's
texts into twelve different languages - Arabic, Danish, English,
German, Italian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Russian,
Serbo-Croatian, Swahili and Swedish - bringing both a historical
and multilingual perspective to the ways in which Fanon is cited
today. With contributions from an international, interdisciplinary
group of scholars, the stories told combine themes of movement and
place, personal networks and agency, politics and activism,
archival research and textual analysis, creating a book that is a
fresh and comprehensive volume on the translated works of Frantz
Fanon and essential reading for scholars in translation studies,
postcolonial studies, cultural studies, critical race studies, and
African and African diaspora literature.
