 The incredibly important fifth chapter to Black Skin, White Masks, titled “The Lived-Experience of the Black Man” (“L’expérience vécue du noir”), is bookended by two chapters examining psychological accounts of the colonized. In the fourth chapter, Fanon undertakes a systematic critique of Octave Mannoni’s psychoanalytic account of colonial oppression and in the sixth chapter he works through a psychoanalytic account of racialized libidinal economy. Both chapters are crucial for understanding the role of psychoanalysis in Fanon’s thought, as well as an opportunity to see his creativity as a reader who repurposes colonial or colonial-tinged methods and analyses for the sake of clarification of the effects of anti-Black racism under colonial domination. Fanon’s conclusions are not surprising, of course. Psychoanalysis, like his original readings of interracial relationships, provides Fanon a language for describing all the effects and affects on desire under anti-Black racism, and how gendered notions of power, embodiment, and selfhood are structured from the inside by the colonial practice of racism. What he uncovers in his critique and repurposing of psychoanalysis are new layers of pathology on the part of the colonizer, of course, but also of the colonized who cannot function as intact psyches. As well, Fanon argues in some detail against the capacity of European psychoanalysis to understand the colonial situation. Blackness requires modifications in method, especially if that method is to open space for resistance, rebellion, and liberation.
