Author Description

A beautiful photographic exploration of the revolutionary movements in Africa in the sixties and seventies.<br> <br> An unblinking portrait of the anticolonial struggles of the 1960s, <i>Concerning Violence</i> combines more than one hundred and fifty arresting color and black-and-white photographs from Göran Hugo Olsson's award-winning documentary, with passages from Frantz Fanon's classic <i>The Wretched of the Earth</i>. <i>Concerning Violence</i> is a powerful commentary on the history of colonialism and struggles for self-determination, whose echoes remain with us today, and will introduce a new generation to Fanon, whom Angela Y. Davis has called "this century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism."
