In his pioneering book about the relationship between race and colonialism, Black Skin, White Masks, Frantz Fanon explored the traumatic consequences of the sense of inferiority that colonized people felt, and how this often led them to identify with the ideology of the colonial agency. Brown Skin, White Masks picks up where Frantz Fanon left off. Dabashi extends Fanon's insights as they apply to today's world. Dabashi shows how intellectuals who migrate to the West are often used by the imperial powers to misrepresent their home countries. Just as many Iraqi exiles were used to justify the invasion of Iraq, Dabashi demonstrates that this is a common phenomenon, and examines why and how so many immigrant intellectuals help to sustain imperialism.The book radically alters Edward Said's notion of the "e;intellectual exile,"e; in order to show the negative impact of intellectual migration. Dabashi examines the ideology of cultural superiority, and provides a passionate account of how these immigrant intellectuals-rootless compradors, and guns for hire-continue to betray any notion of home or country in order to manufacture consent for imperial projects. 606 $aRace 606 $aRace relations 606 $aIntellectual life 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aRace relations. 615 0$aIntellectual life. 676 $a305.8 700 $aDabashi$b Hamid$f1951-$01466570 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789524803321 996 $aBrown skin, white masks$93677068 997 $aUNINA
