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.
