Race, Racism and Psychology Summary

Race, Racism and Psychology: Towards a Reflexive History by Graham Richards (Professor of History of Psychology, Staffordshire University UK (Retired), Director of the British Psychological Society History of Psychology Centre (Retired))

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.

Race, Racism and Psychology Reviews

"The first edition of Race, Racism, and Psychology was highly respected and widely cited. Richards' unique synthesis of careful historiography and evaluative commentary is continued in this new edition, and it will remain one of the most important books on the history of scientific racism.' - Andrew S. Winston, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Guelph, Canada"This text represents a rigorous and fascinating overview of the multiple historical intersections of racism and psychology. The author demonstrates both an astute critical resolve, and remarkable even-handedness in his analysis. Unrivalled both in the breadth of its research and the considered detail it affords key characters, locations and events, the book is an invaluable source for anyone with an interest in the discipline." Derek Hook, Lecturer in Psychosocial Studies, Birkbeck College London, UK
