most of these ideas first emerged in the work that gave gordon a reputation in fanon studies—namely, "fanon and the crisis of european man: an essay on philosophy and the human sciences" (1995). gordon introduced a new stage in fanon studies by announcing that he was not interested in writing on fanon but instead working with fanon on the advancement of his (gordon's) own intellectual project. fanon was thus an occasion or point of departure but not the main object of the study. the work is, then, a statement more of gordon's philosophy than that of fanon, who, in this text, is more a major influence. the book offers several innovations to the question of colonialism and the human sciences. first, gordon argues that crises are really human communities refusing to make the choices necessary for the transformation of realities created by human agency. in short, they are forms of choices against choice or choosing not to choose, which amounts to bad faith. history, he argued, must transcend the imposition of world history (and thus become structured as a crisis) and move toward an existential-historical understanding of human communities on the basis of critical good faith. phenomena such as racism and colonialism, because they attempt to erase the humanity of the colonized and object of racism, place challenges on whether it is possible to study human communities without collapsing into acts of discursive, imperial practices.
