Abstract

This short piece raises awareness of how Frantz Fanon’s ideas, in the year of his centenary, continue to provoke fear and anxiety within the Western imperialist political establishment, especially as his work gains renewed prominence among pro-Palestinian activists. It provides Sarah Jilani, one of the contributors to this special issue, with the space to respond to a 2025 policy report published by the British Conservative think tank Policy Exchange, titled After Gaza: Fanon and His Acolytes. The report, authored by former British diplomat John Jenkins and introduced by Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, includes a footnote mocking Jilani while insulting Fanon’s political legacy.
