The African American Experience: Psychoanalytic Perspectives edited
by Salman Akhtar brings together the contributions of distinguished
mental health professionals and scholars of humanities to offer a
multifaceted perspective on the transgenerational trauma of
slavery, the hardship of single parent families, the ruthlessness
of anti-black racism, and the crushing burden of poverty and social
disenfranchisement on the African American individual. The book
also sheds light on the resilience of spirit, the dignity of
perseverance, and the glow of talent that is widespread in this
group. It contains penetrating and informative biographical essays
on Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Mohammad Ali, Barack Obama,
and Oprah Winfrey. Such discourse on human greatness is balanced by
the considerations of daily joy and anguish on clinical and
societal levels. This wide-ranging and nuanced volume on the
history, culture, and psychosocial struggles of African American
people fills an important gap in the literature on psychotherapy
and psychoanalysis.
