A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today. [Fanon] demonstrates how insidiously the problem of race, of color, connects with a whole range of words and images.” Robert Coles, The New York Times Book Review

Review:

'A haunting melange of existential analysis, revolutionary manifesto, metaphysics, prose, poetry and literary criticism.' --Newsweek

'Fanon's analysis of crippled colonial mentalities may be even more salient now than it was then.' --New Statesman

'This century s most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism.' --Angela Davis

About the Author:

Frantz Fanon (1925 – 1961) was an author, psychoanalyst, and revolutionary from Martinique. He was the pre-eminent thinker of the 20th century on the issue of decolonisation and the psychopathology of colonisation, and his works have inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for over half a century. He is also the author of the classic The Wretched of the Earth.
