Adam Shatz speaks with Kate Wolf and Eric Newman about his latest book, The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon. The book is both a biography of Fanon— one of the most important thinkers on race and colonialism of the last century— as well as an intellectual history that looks closely at his most seminal texts. Shatz uncovers the events that led to the writing of books such as Black Skin, White Masks and the Wretched of the Earth by following Fanon from his birth in Martinique (then a French colony), to his time serving in World War II, his studies in Lyon, his innovative work as a psychiatrist in France and Algeria, as well as his pivotal decision to join in the fight for Algerian independence and become a part of the FLN. Though Fanon died at only 36, in 1961, Shatz also explores the many afterlives of his work, from his embrace by the Black Panthers and his influence on filmmakers such as Claude Lanzmann and Ousmane Sembene to echoes of his thought in the continued movements for Black liberation and decolonization today.
Also, E. J. Koh, author of The Liberators, returns to recommend The Twilight Zone by Nona Fernandez, translated by Natasha Wimmer.

Armed Struggle for Black Liberation in Southern California / Gerald Horne

We tell the story of Section 504, a landmark piece of civil rights legislation for disabled people in the US. In Part One, we look at the politics leading up to the 504 sit-in and how the implementation of Section 504 very nearly didn't happen because of concerns that it would be "too expensive." In Part Two, our story continues with a look at the sit-in action itself—the longest occupation of a federal government building in US history—and the key role played by the Oakland Black Panthers and other groups in assuring the occupation's success.

AfricaNow! March 5, 2025 Gerald Horne on Armed Struggle, & Update on the DRC

Topics and Guests: Today the show features a portion of a recent discussion by Dr. Gerald Horne at Sankofa Video and Books.  The conversation centered around Dr. Gerald Horne’s new publication Armed Struggle? Panthers and Communists; Black Nationalists and Liberals in Southern California through the Sixties and Seventies.  In the book Gerald Horne sketches the apparent paradox of some African Americans turning to armed struggle at a time when it appeared that Jim Crow was retreating.  He draws critical distinctions between armed propaganda, armed self-defense—and armed struggle— all of which he places in a global context of anti-war activism, the Cold War, and African liberation.  Professor Gerald Horne is currently the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.  Dr. Horne has written nearly 40 books dealing with the confluence of African American History, Communist History, the struggle for liberation, internationalism, imperialism, colonialism, racism, white supremacy, and fascism.  The conversation features an introduction by Dr. Gregg Carr of Howard University and interventions by filmmaker/educator Dr. Haile Gerima of Sankofa. (the full conversation is on Sankofa’s YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x59ltOV2ELE&t=2970s)
