Black skin, white masks
 Once decolonization has been completed, this attempt to understand the Black-White relationship has retained all its prophetic value: for racism, despite the horrors with which it has afflicted the world, remains a problem for the future.
 It is here approached and fought head-on, with all the resources of the human sciences and with the passion of one who was to become a master thinker for many intellectuals of the Third World.
 Frantz Fanon (1925-1961)
 Born in Fort-de-France, he joined the Free French Forces in 1943, then studied medicine, philosophy and psychology in Lyon. He became chief doctor of the psychiatric hospital of Blida, but he was expelled from Algeria in 1957 and settled in Tunis where he remained linked with the leaders of the GPRA. He died of leukemia after having published two other works devoted to the Algerian revolution and decolonization.
