But his thought also played a crucial and formative role in the work of one of the iconic thinkers of the 'decolonial turn', Frantz Fanon. This would be inexplicable if it were not for the much-quoted 'lord-bondsman' dialectic - frequently referred to as the 'master-slave dialectic' - described in Hegel's \u003ci\u003eThe Phenomenology of Spirit.\u003c\/i\u003e Fanon takes up this dialectic negatively in contexts of violence-riven (post-)slavery and colonialism; yet in works such as \u003ci\u003eBlack Skin, White Masks \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Wretched of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e he upholds a Hegelian-inspired vision of freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays in this collection offer close readings of Hegel's text, and of responses to it in the work of twentieth-century philosophers, that highlight the entangled history of the translations, transpositions and transformations of Hegel in the work of Fanon, and more generally in colonial, postcolonial and decolonial contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrike Kistner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1776146239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781776146239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wits University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Ulrike Kistner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990910730495,"sku":"9781776146239","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1ee93c3-cf2d-454b-bc13-a031d879fca8.jpg?v=1683307375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-slavery-and-freedom-between-ulrike-kistner-9781776146239","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
