I would recommend this book.

Not quite a 4 star book but a solid 3.5.

Black Skin, White Masks is a provocative title and that is why I picked it up. I wish I had known more about who the author was (though the foreword provides some detail) because I started reading with the hopes of a more analytical exploration than what was presented. Knowing now Frantz Fanon was a psychiatrist and philosopher, the book makes perfect sense. Most of the book is philosophical with Fanon trying to suggest what it means to be black and if the concept of being black is artificial or not. In the end though, I think it’s more about Fanon trying to better identify who he is as a person without depending on external stimuli to influence his conclusions.

A solid read but if you are expecting more than anecdotal evidence, you maybe slightly disappointed
