FRANTZ FANON PRIZE
 |
The Frantz Fanon Prize is awarded annually in recognition of up to three works in or of special interest to Caribbean thought. The nominations are made during the fall of each year, and the winners are chosen and announced by February of the succeeding year. The plaque of acknowledgment is given at a ceremony and book session at the annual conference of the Caribbean Philosophical Association. Only books published within 6 years of the nomination date can be considered for the award. Each winning author automatically becomes a member of the committee for the prize. The Frantz Fanon Prize Committee has announced that the 2009 prize will be awarded to:
Linda Martín Alcoff, VISIBLE IDENTITIES: RACE, GENDER, AND THE SELF (Oxford University Press, 2006)
Erique Dussel, for his overall contribution to philosophy, history, and religious thought.
Nigel Gibson, for his overall body of work in Frantz Fanon studies and for FANON: THE POSTCOLONIAL IMAGINATION (Polity Press, 2003)
