Adam Shatz and Dr Nida Alahmad at book discussion

In March 2024, the Edinburgh Centre for International and Global Law, CRITIQUE, and the Project on Decolonising Counselling and Psychotherapy: Reflections from Psychosocial Perspectives hosted Adam Shatz to celebrate the launch of his latest book The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon. The Rebel's Clinic is a searing biography of the short and harrowing life of Frantz Fanon and a brilliant, nuanced exploration of his ideas, whose legacy is still so powerful. The event was chaired by Rhea Gandhi, PhD candidate in Counselling Studies who introduced the session and moderated the Q&A segment with an audience of approximately 80 people. 

At Edinburgh Law School, Adam and Dr Nida Alahmad, Lecturer in Politics and International Relations of the Middle East at the University of Edinburgh, engaged in a conversation about Fanon’s life, views, and impact, and how his work relates to the world today. This conversation is now available to listen

He is the author of Writers and Missionaries: Essays on the Radical Imagination and the host of the podcast “Myself with Others.”
