Black Skin, White Masks

´Fanon is our contemporary ... In clear language, in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage, Fanon showed us the internal theatre of racism´ Deborah Levy 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´ The New York Times Book Review
