Book excerpt: This book will revisit some of the main ideas of Fanon for their relevance in contemporary times and particularly to address the course of social and educational change. The book begins by exposing arguments relating to the relevance of Fanon today by asking some key questions: What accounts for the "Fanon Renaissance"? Why and how is Fanon important to schooling and education today? What are the challenges of Fanon for the critical pursuit of transformative education? How do Fanon's myriad intellectual contributions help us understand colonialism and imperial power relations, social movements, and the politics of social liberation? How do Fanon's ideas about colonialism and it impact on the human psyche help us to understand contestations over questions of identity and difference, and the pursuit of race, gender, class, and sexual politics today? Why the Pedagogy of Fanon?
