Book Description

‘This century’s most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism’ – Angela Davis
‘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
