Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon

3.0

Would have rated this higher were it not for the ingrained misogyny and homophobia. Particularly disliked the chapter on 'The Woman of Colour and the White Man'. There are moments of real clarity of thought and it's worth the read for these. But wild extrapolations from personal experience, or particular medical case studies, fell flat for me. I was surprised not to find more modern critiques. Dusty's review on Goodreads pretty accurately reflects my views and perhaps those of many 21st century readers.
