Amazing analysis of racism and the impacts of colonialism on the minds of both colonized and colonizer.
Was great to read after Aimé Césaire’s Discourses on Colonialism. Fanon did a great job building upon and refining the concepts presented in Discourses.
I found some of the Dream analysis a bit more poetic than scientific but it is very beautifully poetic.
The distinction Fanon draws between race and class is interesting and I want to explore more deeply and definitely will need to reread that section.
