Farid Medleg’s Reviews > Black Skin, White Masks > Status Update

I really struggled with the actual analysis of this chapter; heavy reliance on psychoanalysis and the meaning of dreams, in prose that's in a style my brain isn't made for. That being said, he reminds us to not be distracted by an oppressor tying their oppression to faults in the oppressed. Colonialism/racism is the same everywhere; it is violence from the oppressor. The victim does not change that one bit.

The ubiquity of Freudian theories in these last two chapters is tough to reconcile, but the beacon of shining light here is Fanon's position that colonialism is a blight on the psyche. He is unwavering, no matter the content of a chapter.

This year's new project: curriculums. In other words, spending six months going through 4-5 texts specifically compiled to gain a mental foothold within a subject.

This semester: colonialism in Africa.
This is book 1.
