Frantz Fanon's explosive Black Skin, White Masks is a merciless
expose of the psychological damage done by colonial rule across the
world. Using Fanon's incisive analytical abilities to expose the
consequences of colonialism on the psyches of colonized peoples, it
is both a crucial text in post-colonial theory, and a lesson in the
power of analytical skills to reveal the realities that hide
beneath the surface of things. Fanon was himself part of a
colonized nation - Martinique - and grew up with the values and
beliefs of French culture imposed upon him, while remaining
relegated to an inferior status in society. Qualifying as a
psychiatrist in France before working in Algeria (a French colony
subject to brutal repression), his own experiences granted him a
sharp insight into the psychological problems associated with
colonial rule. Like any good analytical thinker, Fanon's particular
skill was in breaking things down and joining dots. His analysis of
colonial rule exposed its implicit assumptions - and how they were
replicated in colonised populations - allowing Fanon to unpick the
hidden reasons behind his own conflicted psychological make up, and
those of his patients. Unflinchingly clear-sighted in doing so,
Black Skin White Masks remains a shocking read today.
