This is an excellent introduction to existentialism. Smith does an admirable job categorizing and clarifying the core traits of the existentialists without imposing an overly strict definition of what does and doesn't qualify. Giving more of a voice to Fanon's contributions, with a whole chapter on race, is another of the book's real virtues: it makes the subject more obviously relevant to our particular moment. In sum, this is a fantastic book, which has given me some great advice about how I can guide my students through the topic more successfully. - Ryan Kemp, Wheaton College, USA
