About This Item
New York: Grove Press, 1967. Hardcover. Stated First Edition, First Printing. 5.5 x 7.75in. 232pp. Publisher's cloth boards. VERY GOOD in Near Fine dust jacket. The book itself shows pp. 220-222 and p. 225 only with sparse pencil underlining. Unfortunately the paper stock is such where any attempt at erasure would take a part of the text with it as it appears a former owner has done on p. 220 where several words have been partially erased. The dust jacket shows the slightest possible hint of shelf rubbing along the extremities, otherwise is not price-clipped remaining Fine/As New. As pictured.
Synopsis
Black Skin, White Masks is a 1952 book written by Frantz Fanon originally published in French as Peau noire, masques blancs. In this study, Fanon uses psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical theory to explain the feelings of dependency and inadequacy that Black people experience in a White world. He speaks of the divided self-perception of the Black Subject who has lost his native cultural originality and embraced the culture of the mother country.
