Edinburgh Speaker Series

Speaker: Norman Ajari (University of Edinburgh)

Abstract: This talk endeavours to provide an account of Caribbean psychiatrist and political theorist Frantz Fanon’s theorising of colonised males facing white desire. Doing so, it aims at showing both how his writings paved the way to the emerging field of contemporary Black male studies, and how psychoanalytical, philosophical, and political insights he offers are still apt to enrich our understanding of racialised men and boys today.
