Black Skins White Masks

Frantz Fanon's *Black Skin, White Masks*, exploring the psychological impact of colonialism on Black individuals. Fanon analyzes the internalized racism and alienation experienced by Black people in colonial and post-colonial societies, arguing that inferiority complexes stem from socio-economic realities rather than inherent traits. The work examines how colonial power structures shape identity and consciousness, leading to a "Manichean delirium" where racial binaries dominate. Furthermore, the excerpts include acknowledgements and discussions of related works, highlighting the social and psychological effects of racism and the struggle for self-definition. The text ultimately advocates for a new humanism that transcends racial prejudice.
