Frantz Fanon's book Black Skin, White Masks examines the psychology of racism through the lens of the black experience. It looks at how both black and white people are affected by the societal condition of racism. Fanon explores how black people face assumptions of being unintelligent if they do not learn the white man's language, and are always seen as less than fully human regardless of their education. He also discusses the white man's fear of black men as mindless, violent beings who will take white women, and how this fear affects societal views. Fanon asserts that black people have one right - to demand human behavior from others, and one duty - to never let decisions renounce their freedom.
