Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s work on messianic time, principally The Time That Remains, this article seeks to extend Agamben’s epistemological paradigm on messianic time to Fanon’s work. At stake here is the question of the Messianic and the extent to which it is not simply a matter of Fanon’s prophetic tone but a dimension of Fanon’s work that contributes to the shaping of both his thought on the ‘New Man’ and its relationship to time.
