Deeply compelling and beautifully written. Last 3 chapters are amazing. Yes, there are the well-known issues Fanon has; namely some misogyny and homophobia that comes through pretty clear in some moments. Read critiques/work on Fanon on top of this for a more fully rigorous framework of applicability of psychoanalysis to race (ie. Hortense Spillers). This is a fantastic start though.
