Fanon's Psychopolitics & Empire's Anxiety w/ Sarah Jilani

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back our friend and comrade, Sarah Jilani (whom you will remember from our episode Subjectivity and Decolonization in the Post-Independence Novel and Film ) to discuss one of our favorite topics - Fanon. Specifically here, we are talking about two articles that Sarah wrote, the first being Fanon's psycho-politics of decolonisation , a fascinating scholarly article that came out in the Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE). We then talk about a ROAPE blog piece that Sarah cowrote titled Fanon, Gaza and the anxieties of empire which was a response to members of the British government and diplomatic corps denigrating Fanon and even calling out Sarah by name in doing so. A really fascinating discussion, and the articles are really great too so be sure to check them out! Sarah Jilani is a Lecturer in English at City, University of London. She is the author of several articles on postcolonial literatures and film that have appeared in Textual Practice, Interventions, and Journal of Commonwealth Literature, amongst others, and a widely published culture journalist. Be sure to check out her book Decolonisation in the Post-Independence Novel and Film and her show The Global Gaze .
