As the first book to analyze the work of Fanon as an
existential-phenomenological of human sciences and liberation
philosopher, Gordon deploys Fanon's work to illuminate how the "bad
faith" of European science and civilization have philosophically
stymied the project of liberation. Fanon's body of work serves as a
critique of European science and society, and shows the ways in
which the project of "truth" is compromised by Eurocentric
artificially narrowed scope of humanity--a circumstance to which he
refers as the crisis of European Man. In his examination of the
roots of this crisis, Gordon explores the problems of historical
salvation and the dynamics of oppression, the motivation behind
contemporary European obstruction of the advancement of a racially
just world, the forms of anonymity that pervade racist theorizing
and contribute to "seen invisibility," and the reasons behind the
impossibility of a nonviolent transition from colonialism and
neocolonialism to postcolonialism.
