Abstract
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. [Fanon] demonstrates how insidiously the problem of race, of color, connects with a whole range of words and images. -- Robert Coles, The New York Times Book Review
