  Book summary:

  A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today. "[Fanon] demonstrates how insidiously the problem of race, of color, connects with a whole range of words and images." - Robert Coles, The New York Times Book Review [via]

  Book summary:

  Patanjali and Yoga is a clear and straihtforward look at the history, development and meaning of yogic thought now proving of such interest to the West. It is not just another book of methods and practices.
  Yoga originated in archaic magical means intended to overcome human anguish and suffering, These methods were known long before Patanjali, but Eliade has chosen to focus on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, who was the first to write down and codify "classic yoga." Following in Patanjali's path, Indian thinkers have been quick to distinguish true yoga from trances, self-hypnosis and false ecstasies. The many forms and aspects of yogic practice constitute a major part of India's history.
  From earliest times, India has concerned itself with what we in the modern West call altered states of consciousness. Yoga allows a release from deterministic conditioning and permits the yogi to release himself into the true, indescribable freedom of liberation. With that release comes the appearance of extraordinary powers baffling to modern scientists and easily confused with "magical" or "occult" powers. Here is a comprehensive introduction to the foundations of yogic thought and practice. [via]
