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 review is from: Black Skin, White Masks (Pluto Classics) (Paperback)
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
