Octave Mannoni is a French psychoanalyst. The entire fourth chapter of Black Skin, White Masks is dedicated to Fanon’s critique of Mannoni’s book, The Psychology of Colonization (1956). Fanon argues that Mannoni accurately observes certain aspects of the psychological dynamic produced by colonialism, but that his argument is also filled with falsehoods and ultimately perpetuates colonial ideology.
