Industry Reviews "Since he is writing to awaken people, to inform them so that they will act, [the author] makes no effort to be systematic, comprehensive, or even orderly. Qute the contrary, one feels a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind, walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair....As a psychiatrist he summons what every clinician knows about the child's early susceptibility to the fears and anxieties of his parents, and relates that knowledge to Negroes....As a writer he demonstrates what others have before him, how insidiously the problem of race, of color, connects with a whole range of words and images....Yet it is Fanon the man, rather than the medical specialist or intellectural, who makes this book so hard to put down." New York Times Book Review - Robert Coles (04/30/1967)
"[A] complicated and original work, which survives today as a key text in all discussions about the nature of racism to this day." Gott
