Product Description

Review
One feels a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair. --New York Times

A strange, haunting melange of existential analysis, revolutionary manifesto, metaphysics, prose, poetry and literary criticism. --Newsweek

Fanon's analysis of crippled colonial mentalities may be even more salient now than it was then. --New Statesman

Product Description
First published in English in 1968, Frantz Fanon's seminal text was immediately acclaimed as a classic of black liberationalist writing. Fanon's descriptions of the feelings of inadequacy and dependence experienced by people of colour in a white world - the crippled colonial mentalities of the oppressed - 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful book, 4 April 2005
By Sancho Mahle (Charlotte, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Black skin, white mask by Frantz Fanon's is a mind-opening novel for humanity irrespective of race or the color of the skin. This book helped me to come to terms with many of the attitudes around. The author's insights into the psychological damage of the black man from colonialism, incomprehension, self-denial, racism, continuous bitterness and other negative consequences still stand as powerful guides in helping us to grapple with the problems of our world. You read the book to the end and come out of the experienced feeling enlightened and a better person. One feels better placed to navigate in our rapidly becoming multicultural world.

I recommend this book along with: THE USURPER AND OTHER STORIES, A BLADE OF GRASS, DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE , TRIPLE AGENT DOUBLE CROSS

4.0 out of 5 stars An eye opener to society, 17 Jan 2003
By A Customer
This book was originally purchased for my degree in Race, however the book was an eye opener into how it feels have been, and to be black in what is quoted as a 'white world'. At times this book can be extremely unbelievable to read,and it outlines the struggles that people face in our society. This book was extremely helpful for my work but was also a great book to read for pleasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking, 9 Mar 2006
By A Customer
Written in a highly intellectual and initiated form.
Which makes it unclear to those without a P.H.D in psychology.

However, I found it the most inportant book of it's kind
on this subject. Frantz was clearly ahead of his time
and writes in a poetic/philosophical way to get his point
across.

It is both highly thought provoking and helps to undo the
damage of those lost in the Willy Lynch mentality.Or at least
question their existance?

The only negative thing about it, is the Dr'ish terminology.
But It is spot on.Maybe even more important to read now, than
before!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A bold attempt
Fanon's book, in my view, is a cry of desperation rooted in a lack of love. His cry is an impassioned plea for acceptance in the modern world. Read more
