Highly rated and widely regarded as essential reading in race and decolonial studies, this Penguin Modern Classic remains a vital resource for understanding systemic racism and its mental health impacts. ## Description 'This century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism' Angela Davis 'Fanon is our contemporary ... In clear language, in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage, Fanon showed us the internal theatre of racism' Deborah Levy Frantz Fanon's urgent, dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the black experience in a white world. Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker. 'So hard to put down ... a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind, walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair' The New York Times Book Review Review: The mask for change and race equality in mental health. - The book is profoundly insightful of the importance of the colonial period and the impact on the masks of race and the deeply embedded issues of race and colour in the current period and as a conceptual framework to understand health and mental health. Review: Essential Book - This is an essential book for anyone interested in decolonial and race theory, particularly for those with a focus on the wider Atlantic world and Caribbean. An insightful read that will introduce you to Fanon’s oeuvre. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 13,388 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 11 in People of African Descent & Black Studies 1,543 in History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 482 Reviews | ## Images ![Black Skin, White Masks (Penguin Modern Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l+dM2lC8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The mask for change and race equality in mental health. *by A***R on 6 February 2025* The book is profoundly insightful of the importance of the colonial period and the impact on the masks of race and the deeply embedded issues of race and colour in the current period and as a conceptual framework to understand health and mental health. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Book *by D***D on 10 December 2023* This is an essential book for anyone interested in decolonial and race theory, particularly for those with a focus on the wider Atlantic world and Caribbean.

It starts off ok, but gets quite deep early on. I didn't want to just go through the motions of reading it. So I'm trying to really understand it, hence the course like approach to it ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Skin, White Masks (Penguin Modern Classics) - The Wretched of the Earth (Penguin Modern Classics) - Orientalism --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/131178331-black-skin-white-masks-penguin-modern-classics](https://www.desertcart.be/products/131178331-black-skin-white-masks-penguin-modern-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
