Race in Psychoanalysis

More about the book

The book delves into the intersection of race and psychoanalysis, highlighting the overlooked racism embedded within the foundational texts of Freud, influenced by late nineteenth-century colonialist anthropology. It argues that this hidden bias continues to affect the field, particularly in light of recent racial violence in the US. The work calls for a critical reassessment of psychoanalysis, alongside other academic and professional disciplines, to uncover and address the racial prejudices that persist within them.
