First published in 1952, Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks
is one of the most important anti-colonial works of the post-war
period. It is both a profound critique of the conscious and
unconscious ways in which colonialism brutalises the colonised and
a passionate cry from deep within a black body alienated by the
colonial system and in search of liberation from it.This volume is
the first collection of essays specifically devoted to Fanon's
text. It offers a wide range of interpretations of the text by
leading scholars in a number of disciplines. Chapters deal with
Fanon's Martinican heritage, Fanon and Creolism, ideas of race and
racism and new humanism, Fanon and Sartre, representations of
Blacks and Jews, and the psychoanalysis of race, gender and
violence. Contributors offer new ways of reading the text and the
volume as a whole constitutes an important contribution to the
growing field of Fanon studies.
