Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon

while this occassionally contains some good analysis, particularly in the realm of positing as sociogenic origin to madness, it is so often obtusely written or devolves into clear misogyny (with a bit of heterosexism for good measure) and going down the many rabbit holes of psychoanalysis. worth bearing in mind that i came into this detesting psychoanalysis but wow, no. not that there’s aren’t great things to be found in here but the majority of this is not as good as its high points
