All the Men Are Fighting for Freedom, All the Women Are Mourning Their Men, but Some of Us Carried Guns: A Raced-Gendered Analysis of Fanon's Psychological Perspectives on War.

The author, citing anticolonial revolutionary Frantz Fanon's rationalization for revolutionary war, explores the psychological effects of war and military combat in African women. The author feels that Fanon was too confident in his views of the psychological potential of war and violence, saying that his confidence originated in his disregard for gendered aspects of anticolonial violence. The author discusses Fanon's theories of colonial oppression, the Algerian nationalist movement, and the psychological transformation rooted in revolutionary violence for men and women. The author then goes on to discuss Fanon's lack of consideration for the gendered and patriarchal elements of nationalism, war, and torture as they relate to African women.
