It deserves to be read both by clinicians and by those interested in theorising the psychodynamics of racism.' - International Journal of Psychoanalysis 'This book is useful, both as a stand alone monologue and a text of ... Read morereference for the reader who wants to dip into the subject area. It should appeal to those with an interest in sociology, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, group relations and counselling, to both academics and practicioners.' - Organisational and Social Dynamics 'In ten chapters, we have an almost encyclopedic series of summaries, appropriations, and syntheses of previous work on race that are woven seamlessly together without creating what could easily seem like a mere catalogue of ideas. Accordingly, we are treated to scholarly expatiations of the work of Freud, Klein, Fairbairn, and Winnicott that deepen and reconfigure what we know about racism and psychoanalysis. ...Thanks to Dalal's major contribution, psychoanalytic training institutes and psychoanalysis in general now have an authoritative book with informed conceptual pretexts, varied contexts, and a scholarly text on race, racialization, color, ethnicity, and culture. If we want to teach ourselves and our candidates how to theorize race and metapsychology, we should start with Dalal. - Maurice Apprey, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly Show Less
