Description:
Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon is a seminal work in postcolonial theory, psychoanalysis, and critical race studies. Originally published in 1952, this groundbreaking text explores the psychological effects of colonialism and racism on the identity and self-perception of Black individuals. Drawing from his own experiences and clinical practice, Fanon dissects the psychological alienation imposed by white supremacy, detailing how racism affects both the oppressor and the oppressed.
Blending existentialism, psychoanalysis, and Marxist thought, Fanon examines how Black individuals internalize racist ideologies and struggle to assert their identity in a world structured by colonial domination. His work remains an essential text for scholars, activists, and readers interested in race, identity, and decolonization.
Key Features:
✔ A foundational text in postcolonial studies and critical race theory.
✔ Explores the psychological impact of racism and colonial oppression.
✔ A blend of psychoanalysis, existentialism, and political thought.
✔ Essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy, politics, and literature.

His major works include The Wretched of the Earth (1961), A Dying Colonialism (1959), and Toward the African Revolution (1964). His thought continues to shape discussions on race, decolonization, and identity.
