stachmou77 's review for:
Peau noire, masques blancs
by Frantz Fanon
Only two words: Negrophobia and Negrophilia.
Fanon explained how the fetishism of Black men is still current today, and how the dynamic in some of those couples with white men/women, could turn to a dark side.
Reading testimonies on young Black men, trying to adapt themselves in a post-colonial society which is both unapologetic about Slavery and scared of those descendants, is painful. They had to erase a part of themselves and tried to fit a mold that was never going to accept them. Quite a depressing thought.
I wish he would have written a bit more about the relationships between a Black woman and a White man, it felt superficial, compared to the part with Black men and White women.
