CRITICAL TIMES, CRITICAL RACE 

Research Project . . . we investigate key questions in the study of race (as materiality) and racism as acts, events, moments, in the lives of South Africans.

This Wednesday, we are watching snippets from Isaac Julian’s documentary on Frantz Fanon’s first text, Black Skin White Masks.

Come and join us.  Meet a select group of scholars who will offer their reflections on Black Skin, White Masks.

Frantz Fanon was born in Martinique, an island in the Caribbean that was colonized by the French.  He trained as a medical doctor, joined the Algerian Liberation Army, turned to psychoanalysis and participated in the struggle for liberation against the French colonisers. The film offers historical input of the time period in the late 1950s and also showcases the scholarly work of intellectuals such as the late Stuart Hall, and others.
