Bibliography
Alejandro De Oto’s Frantz Fanon: The Politics and Poetics of the Postcolonial Subject played (and continues to play) an important role in presenting the case for the importance of Fanon’s ideas for decolonial thought in Latin America in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Winner of the 2005 Frantz Fanon Outstanding Book Award, it is here offered in English translation through the fastidious work of Karina Alma, which is, in its own right, a contribution to shifting the geography of reason.
