Description

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.

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

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
