Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan, Fanon and Gaza
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan’s work on Fanon acts as an urgent reminder of the role of psychology in resisting oppressive systems not accommodating us to them
As an anti-racist psychologist, Professor Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan has long remained a treasure. His work has been inspirational, and the echoes and traces of his ideas permeate my writing, teaching, and practice. Yet to my dismay, Bulhan is not often discussed among anti-racist scholars and critical mental health professionals in the Global North. This must change, not least in our current zeitgeist. Liberal acceptability of settler-colonialism has re-emerged within our profession. The complicity of mental health professions in imperialism is unfortunately on full display. Now, more than ever, the work of the professor and founder of the Frantz Fanon University in Hargeisa deserves to be elevated.
A good book is immediately impactful. But a great book stands the test of time, demanding that we re-read and re-engage with its ideas as we comb out fresh meanings from the text. Bulhan’s “Frantz Fanon and the Psychology of Oppression” is precisely

Black Americans and psychopathology: An overview of research and theory
Psychotherapy,

The double jeopardy seems to be reflected in the greater social stressors with which most blacks live in society, the institutional inequities they encounter in mental health services, and the racial bias of professionals to whom they come, or are brought, for treatment. This article critically evaluates studies on this issue and their underlying theoretical debate. There exists an extensive literature on various aspects of psychopathology among Black Americans. Among the most significant writings on the topic are historical overviews by Thomas & Sillen () and by Prudhomme & Musto (), epidemiological reports, such as that by Kramer et al. (), comprehensive research reviews by Sattler () and King () as well as focused considerations of diagnosis by Simon (), Raskin et al. (), and Adebimpe (). These are only examples in a large body of works which span several decades

Paris, vers
Né le 20 juillet * à Fort-de-France, Frantz Fanon, cinquième enfant dans une famille mulâtre de huit, reçoit son éducation secondaire au lycée Schoelcher où Aimé Césaire l’influencera. Fanon deviendra un penseur-phare du Tiers-mondialisme et de l’anti-colonialisme.
En , Fanon rejoint les forces françaises libres à la Dominique. Luttant côte à côte avec les « tirailleurs sénégalais », il est décidé à libérer la mère-patrie du nazisme. À ses amis qui lui disent que cette guerre n’est pas la leur, Fanon répond : « Chaque fois que la dignité et la liberté de l’homme sont en question, nous sommes concernés, Blancs, Noirs ou Jaunes, et chaque fois qu’elles seront menacées en quelque lieu que ce soit, je m’engagerai sans retour ».** Son idéalisme prend alors une tournure marquante car la seconde guerre mondiale révèle au descendant d’esclaves que la France qui leur avait inculqué un sens du patriotisme tricolore, avait également instillé dans l’esprit martiniquais et guadeloupéen un complexe de supériorité par rapport aux Africains.
