Black Skin, White Masks | Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon’s urgent, dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the black experience in a white world. Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism’s subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the ‘white masks’ of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker.

‘So hard to put down … a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind, walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair’
