Anti-capitalist political struggle is a site of struggling
psychologies. Conscious political action is never far from
unconscious desire, and the fight for material justice is always
also the fight for dignity and psychological well-being. Yet, how
might community psychologists conceive of their discipline in a way
that opposes the very capitalist political economy that,
historically, most of the psy-disciplines have bolstered in return
for disciplinary legitimacy? In its consideration of an
anti-capitalist psychology of community, this book does not ignore
or try to resolve the contradictory position of such a psychology.
Instead, it draws on these contradictions to enliven psychology to
the shifting demands - both creative and destructive - of a
community-centred anti-capitalism. Using practical examples, the
book deals with the psychological components of building
community-centred social movements that challenge neoliberal
capitalism as a political system, an ideology, and a mode of
governing rationality. The book also offers several theoretical
contributions that grapple with how an anti-capitalist psychology
of community can remain attentive to the psychological elements of
anti-capitalist struggle; what the psychological can tell us about
anti-capitalist politics; and how these politics can shape the
psychological.
