Zahi Zalloua is the Cushing Eells Professor of Philosophy and Literature at Whitman College, USA and Editor of The Comparatist. His recent books include The Politics of the Wretched: Race, Reason, and Ressentiment (Bloomsbury, 2024); Solidarity and the Palestinian Cause: Indigeneity, Blackness, and the Promise of Universality, Being Posthuman: Ontologies of the Future (Bloomsbury 2021) and Žižek on Race: Toward an Anti-Racist Future (Bloomsbury, 2020).
Zahi Zalloua’s Fanon, Žižek, and the Violence of Resistance represents a radical breakthrough in the understanding and theorizing of political violence. It profoundly grasps the connection between the political philosophies of Fanon and Žižek, two thinkers never hitherto thought together. But after the event of Zalloua’s book, we can never think them apart. It’s a landmark work that transforms the terrain of our political thinking. * Todd McGowan, Author of Pure Excess: Capitalism and the Commodity (2024) * Zahi Zalloua’s book compellingly achieves what is most urgently needed in our current social and political predicament. By bringing together Fanon and Žižek as a philosophical pair, he constructs a genuinely novel conceptual tool—one that goes a long way in dismantling the false oppositions and dividing lines that so often paralyze us, replacing them with ones that could truly make a difference. * Alenka Zupancic *
