Black Skin, White Masks

"Black Skin, White Masks" is a book by Frantz Fanon, published in 1952, that explores the psychological impact of colonialism and racism on Black individuals. Fanon examines how colonial domination creates a sense of inferiority among Black people while promoting a desire to assimilate into white culture. He discusses concepts like identity, race, and the internalized oppression experienced by colonized populations. The book addresses the struggle for self-awareness and liberation, highlighting the need for Black individuals to reclaim their identity and combat the harmful effects of racist ideologies. It remains a significant work in post-colonial studies and critical race theory.
