Hegel is most often mentioned - and not without good reason - as
one of the paradigmatic exponents of Eurocentrism and racism in
Western philosophy. But his thought also played a crucial and
formative role in the work of one of the iconic thinkers of the
'decolonial turn', Frantz Fanon. This would be inexplicable if it
were not for the much-quoted 'lord-bondsman' dialectic - frequently
referred to as the 'master-slave dialectic' - described in Hegel's
Phenomenology of Spirit. Fanon takes up this dialectic negatively
in contexts of violence-riven (post-)slavery and colonialism; yet
in works such as Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the
Earth he upholds a Hegelian-inspired vision of freedom. The essays
in this collection offer close readings of Hegel's text, and of
responses to it in the work of twentieth-century philosophers, that
highlight the entangled history of the translations, transpositions
and transformations of Hegel in the work of Fanon, and more
generally in colonial, postcolonial and decolonial contexts.
