"Black Skin, White Masks" by Frantz Fanon: In this earlier work, Fanon explores the psychological effects of colonization on the individual, specifically on the black individual living in a white-dominated society.
"Colonialism/Postcolonialism" by Ania Loomba: This book provides an overview of key concepts and debates within postcolonial theory and criticism, and also examines how postcolonialism intersects with other fields of study, such as feminism and cultural studies.
