This document summarizes Frantz Fanon's book "Black Skin, White Masks". It discusses Chapter 3 which analyzes the relationship between black men and white women in colonial societies. Fanon argues that black men desire to be with white women not out of love, but to prove they are equal to white men. Black men want to join the white world, but are held back by the prejudices that relegate them to an inferior status based on their black skin. The chapter also references the work of Rene Maran which portrayed a biracial man who was raised in a boarding school and withdrew into himself and books.
