Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, and Black Skin, White Masks
represents some of his most important work. Fanon’s masterwork is now
available in a new translation that updates its language for a new
generation of readers. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks
is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed
for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first
published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today from one of the
most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and
racial difference in history.
