'Few works have more creatively and comprehensively explored Fanons perspective on gender relations, the family, and womens resistance to sexual violence. It provides an outstanding examination of the historical and political circumstances that shaped his least discussed book, Studies in a Dying Colonialism' -- Peter Hudis, author of Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades 'Haddour is a foremost interpreter of Fanon and here sheds important new light on this critical giant of the twentieth century by focusing on his radical, sadly neglected Studies in a Dying Colonialism, challenging the assumptions of many postcolonial readers' -- Judith Still, Emeritus Professor of French and Critical Theory, University of Nottingham 'A meticulously researched analysis looking beyond Fanons most frequently read works on Algerian society under French colonialism and during the War of Independence. Azzedine Haddour explores Fanons analyses of gender, the family, medicine, and the use of torture, complementing Fanons own writing with a wealth of historical information illuminating the devastating impact of French colonial policy on the Algerian people' -- Jane Hiddleston, author of Frantz Fanon: Literature and Invention
