Black skin, white masks

Fanon, Frantz 1925-1961 (Author).

Summary: "Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on black identity and critical race studies as Frantz Fanon's, 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 international civil rights, anticolonial, and black consciousness movements, Black Skin, White Masks is an 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 thinkers on revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in human history."--Book cover.
