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.
