Educative Violence: Social Movements, Fanon, and the Racial State
This presentation revisits Fanon’s theory of violence, violence’s multiple levels of expression in social life, and the intellectual’s relationship with violence as both an educational and ethical problem. That is, how is education a form of violence and how does violence contain an educative moment? Over 50 years after its publication, Wretched’s original and generative theory of violence remains relevant as both an explanatory framework for race/colonial relations and violence’s conditions of possibility.
Dr. Zeus Leonardo is Professor of Social and Cultural Studies in the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley.
