Black Skin, White MasksFew modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, andBlack 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. |

Page 79 - Wherever Europeans have founded colonies of the type we are considering, it can safely be said that their coming was unconsciously expected — even desired — by the future subject peoples.
Page 87 - What the colonial in common with Prospero lacks, is awareness of the world of Others, a world in which Others have to be respected.
Page 12 - ... [What would you expect to find, when the muzzle that has silenced the voices of black men is removed? That they would thunder your praise? When these heads that our fathers have forced to the very ground are risen, do you expect to read adoration in their eyes?
Page 71 - Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it and that before engulfing the whole of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps and trickles from every crack.
Page 71 - And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized...

Page 192 - Each sees the other do the same as it does; each does itself what it demands of the other, and therefore also does what it does only in so far as the other does the same. Action by one side only would be useless because what is to happen can only be brought about by both.
Page 191 - Self-consciousness exists in itself and for itself, in that, and by the fact that it exists for another selfconsciousness; that is to say, it is only by being acknowledged or "recognized.
