Fanon and the Crisis of European Man: An Essay on Philosophy and the Human Sciences

First Published in 1995. As the first book to analyze the work of Fanon as an existential-phenomenological of human sciences and liberation philosopher, Gordon deploys Fanon's work to illuminate how the "bad faith" of European science and civilization have philosophically stymied the project of liberation.
