Race Racism And Psychology : Towards A Reflexive History
Paperback Edition: 2/2011
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the ways in which Psychology has engaged with 'race' and racism issues since the late 19th century. It emphasizes the complexities and convolutions of the story and attempts to elucidate the subtleties and occasional paradoxes that have arisen
as a result. This new edition contains revisions and additions to the author's previous work, as well as brand new chapters on: ' 'Race' in British Psychology 1945 --c.1970', 'Liberation Psychology', and 'Historiographical Updates, Revisions and New Thoughts.' The second draws attention to the importance of the South African Black Consciousness movement and 'Post-colonial' Psychology, while the last explores recent additional historical research on the subject, the role of fears of 'hybridisation', new material on French colonial psychiatry, and the awkward status of virtually all the language and terms currently used for discussing the topic. This important and controversial book has proved to be a vital text for readers, as a point of departure for more in-depth inquiries into specific topics, and as a handy reference text. The additional up-to-date material included in this new edition makes the book an even more valuable resource to those working and studying psychology, as well as to anyone concerned with the 'race' issue either professionally or personally.
