RaveTimes Literary Supplement (UK)Shatz brings existing accounts of Fanon’s life together with published memoirs of people who knew him, new interviews and interpretations of his writing ... The author’s primary concern is less to do with situating Fanon in a collective history than with offering a portrait, as he puts it, of a \'man\', not an icon ... Fanon’s attention to the lived scale of everyday life, as well as to how bodies and minds are socially produced, still offers us examples for rethinking and rebuilding a lived politics of both care and critique.
