Race, Colour and the Processes of Racialization

New Perspectives from Group Analysis, Psychoanalysis and Sociology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Farhad Dalal argues that people differentiate between races in order to make a distinction between the "haves" and "must-not-haves," and that this process is cognitive, emotional and political rather than biological. Examining the subject over the past thousand years, "Race, Colour and the Process of Racialisation" covers theories of racism and a general theory of difference based on the works of Fanon, Elias, Matte-Blanco and Foulkes, as well as application of this theory to race and racism. Farhad Dalal concludes that the structures of society are reflected in the structures of the psyche, and both of these are colour coded. This book will be invaluable to students, academics and practitioners in the areas of psychoanalysis, group analysis, psychotherapy and counseling.
