| | | Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, and "Black Skin, White Masks " represents some of his most important work. Fanon''s masterwork is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers.
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 from one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history.
Annotation:
Frantz Fanon's classic work on colonialism and its effects on people of color has been an influential text since it was first published in 1952.
| PraiseNew York Times Book Review
"Since he is writing to awaken people, to inform them so that they will act, [the author] makes no effort to be systematic, comprehensive, or even orderly. Qute the contrary, one feels a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind, walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair....As a psychiatrist he summons what every clinician knows about the child's early susceptibility to the fears and anxieties of his parents, and relates that knowledge to Negroes....As a writer he demonstrates what others have before him, how insidiously the problem of race, of color, connects with a whole range of words and images....Yet it is Fanon the man, rather than the medical specialist or intellectural, who makes this book so hard to put down." - Robert Coles 4/30/67Literary Review
"[A] complicated and original work, which survives today as a key text in all discussions about the nature of racism to this day." - Richard Gott November 2000 |
