Between 1954 and 1960, Frantz Fanon conducted numerous clinical studies on the social role of psychiatry (in his capacity as director of psychiatric wards in French Algeria and later post-independence Tunisia.) Later published as articles, conference papers and lectures, these studies--eight of which are translated in this dissertation for the very first time--ask us to consider the possibility of constituting community from a non-antagonistic basis. Whereas previous political theory has presupposed antagonism towards the "other"--offering the choice of either rendering the "other" transparent (in terms of fitting them into one's understanding of the world) or else conflict--Fanon asks us to consider whether we cannot move beyond such self-centered understanding of the world and actually know the "other" as such. In reading these studies in conjunction with Fanon's better-known work, I will trace the development of this alternative vision of community from its origins in Black Skin, White Masks and will argue that Fanon's attempt to reconceive of community from a non-antagonistic basis constitutes a central them in his thought--linking both his professional and political commitments
