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 updates the research contained in the first
edition and includes brand new chapters. These additional chapters
draw attention to the importance of the South African Black
Consciousness movement and Post-colonial Psychology, explore recent
additional historical research on the fears of hybridisation,
contain new material on French colonial psychiatry, and discuss the
awkward status of virtually all the language and terms currently
used for discussion of the topic.
This important and controversial book has proved to be a vital
text, both as a point of departure for more in-depth inquiries, and
also as an essential reference tool.The additional up-to-date
material included in this new edition makes the book an even more
valuable resource to those working in and studying psychology, and
also for anyone concerned with the race issue either professionally
or personally.
