Frantz Fanon var psykiater og blev født i den franske koloni Martinique i 1925. Sort hud, hvide masker, som udkom på fransk i 1952, er toneangivende i såvel sociale og politiske bevægelser som i akademisk tænkning og har særligt det seneste årti fået øget bevågenhed. Med sin dybtgående analyse af racismens og kolonialismens psykologiske og politiske konsekvenser har Fanons tænkning inspireret opgør med undertrykkelse over hele kloden. Centralt i værket står psykoanalysen af det sorte menneske i en verden domineret af hvidhed, hvor kolonialismens lever videre i sproget og betinger såvel sortes som hvides selv- og verdensopfattelse. Det er i dag en kernetekst i den postkoloniale teori – en strømning, som det selv var instrumentelt i at sætte i gang inden for politisk filosofi og kulturteori.

The explosion will not happen today. It is too soon ... or too late.First published in English in 1968, Frantz Fanon's seminal text was immediately acclaimed as a classic of black liberationalist writing.

Fanon identifies a devastating pathology at the heart of Western culture, a denial of difference, that persists to this day. His writings speak to all who continue the struggle for political and cultural liberation in our troubled times.
