Black Skin, White Masks, by Frantz Fanon (Pocket Size)
After decolonization, this attempt to understand the Black-White relationship has kept all its prophetic value: because racism, despite the horrors with which it has afflicted the world, remains a problem for the future.
It is tackled and fought head-on here, with all the resources of the human sciences and with the passion of someone who was to become a mentor for many Third World intellectuals.
