Jonathan Webber argues that Frantz Fanon's book Black Skin, White Masks articulates an existentialist theory of motivation, which grounds its diagnosis of some forms of psychic distress as rooted in colonialism. His existentialism, like Beauvoir's and by this time Sartre's, combines the idea that existence precedes essence with the sedimentation of social meanings throiugh shared media.
