Black Skin, White Masks

'There are too many idiots in this world. And having said it, I have the burden of proving it' - Frantz FanonThis is a devastating account of the feelings of inadequacy experienced by previously colonised people living in the white world. With beautiful, angry prose, Frantz Fanon provides an unsurpassed study of the black psyche using scientific analysis and poetic grace.Fanon's writings have been read and emulated by black radical thinkers - from Malcolm X to Eldridge Cleaver, and movements from the Black Panther Party to Black Lives Matter. Black Skin, White Masks remains the cornerstone to our understanding of the formation of modern black identity and its revolutionary consciousness.
