Author Description

A serious and sophisticated examination of post-apartheid South Africa through the lens of Frantz Fanon's revolutionary humanism. Gibson, director of the Honours Programme at Emerson College in the United States and a visiting research fellow at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, considers Fanon's work and Steve Biko's analysis of the dangers of liberalism as he looks into the politics of the growing shack dwellers movement in South Africa.
