I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.

Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.

It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.

I'm reading his work right now.

It's stuff you've, err, kinda heard before (at least his first book, The Wretched of the Earth).

I think it's because a lot of people are already familiar with Marxist or decolonization politics that, sometimes at least, books written, say, during the 50s or 60s, like the book I mentioned was, tend to regurgitate stuff we may already know.

But hey, I'll be sure to move on to Fanon's next two books that I have in queue.
