I would've benefited from an annotated version of this that explained some context and clarified where Fanon was getting his ideas bc a lot of his statements came out of nowhere and Fanon did nothing to support them. He's very wrong about rape and homosexuality, but there was some interesting stuff in here.

It was a truly liberating experience. The passion and poetry that he puts into his logic is breath-taking. Even though he uses some real heavies of the radical canon: Sartre, Freud-based work, Adler, Hegel, Cesaire, and Marx, his work is totally original and still feels intellectually fresh in terms of how he takes on racism. He drops some references that were new to me which I will definitely look up. There are some things specifically dealing with women that are definitely dated. Also, he deals in absolutes, which is definitely out of fashion. On the other hand, he acknowledges these issues to some extent. If you are interested in post-colonial literature, this is an absolute must-read.
