In Our Biosocial Brains, Michele Lewis underscores culture, brain,
behavior, and social problems to advocate for a more inclusive
cultural neuroscience. Traditional neuroscientists to-date have not
prioritized studying the impact of power, bias, and injustice on
neural processing and the brain's perception of marginalized
humans. The author explains current events, historical events, and
scientific studies, in Our Biosocial Brains. Readers will be drawn
to the relevancy of brain science to examples of injustices and
social bias. Lewis also argues that incorporating non-western
African-Centered Psychology is vital to diversifying research
questions and diversifying interpretations of existing brain
science because African-Centered Psychology is not rooted in
racist, classist, and exclusionary hegemonic methods. The author
argues for attention to marginalized populations, regarding the
impact of violence, disrespect, othering, slurs, environmental
injustice, health, and general disregard on humans' brains and
behavior. Using hundreds of peer-reviewed studies and original
research, the author presents scientific studies that are
integrated with sociocultural explanations to foster wider
understanding of how our sociocultural world shapes our brains, and
how our brains' responses influence how humans perceive and treat
one another.
