Concerning Violence: Fanon, Film, and Liberation in Africa, Selected Takes 1965-1987 | 
so-soThis book uses the writings of political philosopher Frantz Fanon alongside still photos of documentary footage and some interviews to look at violence in African countries shaking off the yoke of colonialism. Great idea, but I feel like this wasn‘t executed well. Adding detailed captions to the photos would have made this so much better.

Librarybelle That‘s a shame! 1y
Caterina Bummer! I loved the documentary, which I watched after finishing The Wretched of the Earth. I didn't know this book existed! Do you think it'd still be worth it for me to get my hands on? 1y
Hooked_on_books @Caterina I do suspect it will be a lot more meaningful for those who have seen the film, which I think would give it context. If you‘d like, I could send it along to you. (edited) 1y
