Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on Black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, and Black Skin, White Masks represents some of his most important work. Fanon's masterwork explores the psychological effects of colonization on the colonized, examining how racism becomes internalized and how colonial subjects develop complex relationships with their own identity. This groundbreaking analysis of the psychopathology of racism remains essential reading for understanding the lasting impacts of colonialism on individual and collective consciousness.

Why We Picked It: Because Fanon's psychological analysis of racism was revolutionary and remains urgently relevant. His insights into how colonial violence shapes identity, self-perception, and relationships continue to inform contemporary discussions about race, identity, and decolonization across the world.
