Black Skin, White Masks

Black Skin, White Masks by Fanon, Frantz. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780745328485.

First published in English in 1968, Frantz Fanons seminal text was immediately acclaimed as a classic of black liberationalist writing. Fanons descriptions of the feelings of inadequacy and dependence experienced by people of colour in a white world are as salient and as compelling as ever. Fanon identifies a devastating pathology at the heart of Western culture, a denial of difference, that persists to this day. His writings speak to all who continue the struggle for political and cultural liberation in our troubled times.
