Wael Garnaoui presenting in the panel “Decolonising the Works of the Mind”, a speech entitled “Decolonial Praxis and the Production of Knowledge: Rethinking Border Regimes through Fanon”

To mark the centenary of Frantz Fanon’s birth (1925–1961), ASERI and Polidemos are organizing an international event bringing together scholars to reflect on the contemporary relevance of his work.

Fanon’s thought, situated at the intersection of anticolonial political theory and psychiatry, continues to provide essential tools for understanding global capitalism and the enduring legacies of colonialism.
