description: Frantz Fanon is known as a champion of Africa against Europe, of black against white. 'Every brother on a rooftop can quote Fanon', it was said in the Chicago riots of 1967. But Fanon transcended race war, as David Caute brings out in this moving and sympathetic study. He was a defender of the poor against the power elites, whether white or black; and his ideal of a Third World liberated from the West was for all mankind.: 'Let us try to create the whole man, whom Europe has been unable to bring to triumphant birth.'David Caute's third novel, The Decline of the West, is close to the subject of his Fanon, and he has written extensively on French intellectual history. He has taught in both Britain and America and been a fellow of All Souls.
