This essay brings together the work of Chester Himes and Frantz Fanon to show how they aim not only to analyze but also to construct the conditions for a revolution that annihilates the anti-Black foundations of Western society. Drawing on Fanon's brief reference to "a literature of combat" that contributes to decolonizing violence, I argue that the late novels of Himes's Harlem cycle, Blind Man with a Pistol and Plan B, can be reread as works of combat literature. This literature elaborates an aesthetic of revolution and a revolutionary aesthetic oriented toward the construction of a Fanonian "new man."
