Abstract The core of Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks lies not in the famous fifth chapter, “The Lived Experience of the Black,” but in the sixth chapter, “The Negro and Psychopathology.” Fanon there does much more than clarify his critique of certain tendencies within psychoanalysis. In accord with what he called the book’s “progressive infrastructure,” he advanced the argument far beyond what he had arrived at earlier in the book. So, for example, he significantly modified some of the criticisms of Sartre that he had introduced in the fifth chapter, while recognizing that some of those criticisms would stand against him if he continued to maintain them. Furthermore, he clarified what Fanon called “the solution” to the Black’s alienation.

Critical Philosophy of Race

The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
