• Chapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Fanon, Conflicts, Feminisms Chapter 3 Fanon and Capecia Chapter 4 Colonialism, Nationalism, and Fundamentalism: Liberating Algeria Chapter 5 Affinities: U.S. Radical Black Feminists and Fanon Chapter 6 Pitfalls, Postmodern Academic Feminist Consciousness, and U.S. Social Crises

This work takes feminist critiques of Fanon to a new level. It achieves this goal through its close attention to the subtlety of Fanon's dialectics, its scholarship, and its good judgment. Her book is not only a valuable contribution to Fanon studies, but by far and away the best feminist reading of Fanon to date.
