Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
Auteur van De verworpenen der aarde
Over de Auteur
Martinique islander by birth and a psychiatrist by training, Franz Fanon is better known as a pan-African revolutionary ideologue. His treatises on colonialism call for revolutionary confrontation with malignant colonial regimes, where necessary on the battlefield, and, more important, for the toon meer eradication of the most invidious form of colonialism, namely, colonial mentality. Fanon holds that this mentality prevents the African and the black person everywhere even from being aware of the seriousness of the social and personal deprivations of his or her colonized status. Fanon found his voice when he worked for the Algerian revolutionaries during the Algerian War of Independence against the French. Not only did he become deeply involved in the Algerian struggle, he also emerged as its principal ideologue and formulated his anticolonial writings from the Algerian experience.

Black Skin, White Masks door Frantz Fanon
Fanon is probably a better and more likeable human being than many of his French existentialist contemporaries, with whom he is associated (I am thinking of Sartre specifically). However, the fact this book was written, published, and remains lauded and in print, and that its author went on to such enduring prominence, is a potent expression of what befell the Western world after the disastrous wars of the first half of the twentieth century. Granted that Fanon might have been an okay person, this is a muddled book that for the most part offers either conceits or platitudes. If it has any discernible central thesis at all, Fanon wants a complete break with the past so that a new reciprocally validating humanity can be built by "always asking questions". Implicit throughout is an explicitly denied prejudice that it would be effortless for the white man to do this, and that he is morally obliged to.… (meer)
This book was interesting but not really enjoyable or powerful. It certainly raised a lot of good points and its anecdotal evidence was meaningful and easy to follow, but it often fell victim to its own style, becoming too conversational yet discussing too serious of a topic. While I understood that Fanon was going for an easy to read, honest book, I feel that Black Skin, White Masks may have taken that concept too far. Also, some of the graphic descriptions were a little awkward...
A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classic alongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Black Skin, White Masks is psychologist Frantz Fanon’s analysis of the BlackSkinWhiteMaskspsychological pathologies produced by colonialism, in the West in general and in the French Antilles, in particular. Fanon’s main thesis is that colonialism and racism corrupt the psyche of both blacks and whites, albeit in different ways: “the Negro enslaved by his inferiority [and] the white man enslaved by his superiority alike behave in accordance with a neurotic orientation.”
