You can't have good racial politics if you don't have good gender politics. I give this the slightest of passes for its attempt to grapple with colonialism and also being written in the 1950s. Also Fanon was actually on the front line fighting against white supremacy (fought for Algerian National Front), so I have to gve him some respect.

I found this to be refreshingly challenging, not just in how it was a slow read, but also how it challenged me intellectually! Lots of chew on with this.

Fanons critical analysis of colonial racism and the psychological effects not only of the western gaze but the colonised themselves, is something to be applauded. reading this book has taught me so much about myself and how I as a mixed race black woman still has much to learn about myself and my ancestry and the process I must take to truly decolonise my mind. This book is an essential, decolonise ya mind!

When it’s good it’s brilliant, and I’m glad I read it, but the homophobia and misogyny is also dreadful. The Freudian psychoanalysis stuff also lost me a bit tbh, I simply can’t take the idea of a woman being “clitoral” seriously whatsoever.
