| Description: | Select Guide Rating An incisive and readable book which applies the insights of complex areas of contemporary social theory, first to investigate the history of racist psychology, and then to theorise the dynamics of black feminism. Psychology has had a number of things to say about black and coloured people, none of them favourable, and most of which have reinforced stereotyped and derogatory images. Beyond the Masks is a readable account of black psychology, exploring key theoretical issues in race and gender. In it, Amina Mama examines the history of racist psychology, and of the implicit racism throughout the discipline. Beyond the Masks also offers an important theoretical perspective, and will appeal to all those involved with ethnic minorities, gender politics and questions of identity. |
