A review by omemiserum
Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon

4.0

Incredible book that I think is a must-read - really heavily delves into some of the deep psychological implications of racism and colonialism, and has some passages that will probably stick with me forever. I don't necessarily agree with every point made, there are definitely contentious aspects, and some of the psychoanalysis (and homophobia) is always slightly questionable to me, hence the four stars (regarding the latter point mainly... complete concurrence is not a prerequisite for a 5-star review of mine, lol). Nevertheless, has undoubtedly been extremely influential, on the front of race and phenomenology for one, which I have been delving into a bit recently.

Perhaps will write a more detailed review later, but overall, excellent, harrowing, and insightful.
