Against the backdrop of the global pandemic, which has deepened existing \nglobal struggles against coloniality and racist, heteropatriarchal, and capitalist \nsocial formations, this special issue focuses on Fanon, Southern Theory, and \nPsychoanalysis: Dialogues on Race, Gender, and Sexuality. In dialogue with the \nwork of Frantz Fanon-a key figure in thinking on colonialism and decolonization- \nand other critical thinkers from the Global South, the contributors raise \nimportant questions about the place and relevance of psychoanalysis in contemporary \nthought and practice. The special issue invites readers to consider \nthe creative and liberatory possibilities for psychoanalysis within and without \nits epistemic and clinical norms and traditions. This article introduces the \nspecial issue and summarizes the nine contributions included here

Colonialism · Decolonization · Epistemology · Human sexuality · Political science · Politics · Psychoanalysis · Race (biology · Relevance (law · Sociology · Gender Studies · Law · Philosophy · Psychology · Psychotherapy Techniques and Applications
