Internal racism
A Psychoanalytic Approach to Race and Difference
Book • 2011
M.
Fakhry Davids' "Internal Racism" explores the psychological roots of racism, arguing that it's a normal, though undesirable, part of human psyche.
The book challenges traditional psychoanalytic models by introducing the concept of the 'internal racist organization,' a defensive structure that maintains racial divisions.
Davids uses clinical examples and developmental psychology to illustrate how this structure forms and functions, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and insight in addressing racism.
He suggests that confronting internalized racism is a lifelong process, requiring a shift from external solutions to internal work.
The book offers a nuanced perspective on racism, moving beyond simplistic notions of individual prejudice to examine its deeper psychological underpinnings.
