This book draws on a range of key archives and oral testimonies to
provide the first systematic and historical study of the origins,
context, development, frustrations, inner contradictions, and
legacies of the Columbus Centre. The Columbus Centre, a remarkable
though largely forgotten research institute, was established at the
University of Sussex in 1966, triggered by claims of a dearth of
academic research about Nazism and the Holocaust. Its basic stated
aim was to bring together psychoanalysis and history for a
scholarly investigation of discrimination, mass violence, and the
preconditions of genocide in the past and the present. The Nazi
crimes were studied along with other instances of prejudice and
mass violence, such as sixteenth- and seventeenth-century
witch-hunts, South African apartheid, the persecution of the Roma
people, and race relations in the United States and modern-day
Britain. The book seeks to place the Columbus Centre in the
historiography of mass violence by analysing the Centre’s works
through four historiographical prisms or power relations in which
they were produced: psychoanalysis, class, race, and gender. This
interdisciplinary volume is a valuable text for scholars and
students of historiography, psychoanalysis, genocide and violence,
and postwar Europe, and for professionals within the field of
psychology.
