Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology (Psychology and the Other)

Product Description 
Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology is the first edited collection dedicated to exploring the explicitly phenomenological foundations underlying Frantz Fanon’s most important insights. 
Featuring contributions from many of the world’s leading scholars on Fanon, this volume foregrounds a series of crucial phenomenological topics – inclusive of the domains of experience, structure, embodiment, and temporality – pertaining to the analysis and interrogation of racism and anti-Blackness. Chapters highlight and expand Fanon’s ongoing importance to the discipline of psychology while opening compelling new perspectives on psychopathology, decolonial praxis, racialized time, whiteness, Black subjectivity, the "racial ontologizing of the body," systematic structures of racism and resulting forms of trauma, Black Consciousness, and Africana phenomenology. 
In an era characterized by resurgent forms of anti-Blackness and racism, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists who remain inspired by Fanon’s legacy. 
 Review 
"Remarkable for its scope and acuity, impressively lucid and well informed, this book successfully locates Fanon in an established phenomenological tradition. In the process, it fundamentally alters the way we read the Martinican psychiatrist's oeuvre. Its succession of incisive and persuasive essays will quickly become a source for debate, elaboration, or contention." ― Achille Mbembe, author of Necropolitics\n"After the post-Floyd summer of 2020, the global significance of race, racism, and ongoing anti-Blackness in particular has become impossible to deny, underlining the continuing, indeed enhanced, relevance of the imperishable texts of Frantz Fanon. This invaluable collection brings together new and classic analyses that should consolidate Fanon’s stature both as a founder of ‘critical’ phenomenology and a pathbreaker in the theorization of an anti-essentialist, politically informed and socially contextualized, human psychology." ― Charles Mills, author of The Racial Contract and Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism...? \n"On a foray for love, theorists/psychologists edited this excellent collection, Fanon, Phenomenology and Psychology. Anchored with a beautiful introduction, this book honors an ancestor who was and remains ‘as much psychiatrist as revolutionary.’ As we struggle for self-possession and protection from varied forms of lynching and disappearance, we can find respite here, and deep engagement with the language of struggle and liberation." ― Joy James, editor of Imprisoned Intellectuals and author of Seeking the Beloved Community\n"Urgent, necessary, all-too-timely, Fanon, Phenomenology and Psychology offers us not one but multiple Fanons for this contemporary moment. Within its pages we meet Fanon the psychiatrist, Fanon the phenomenologist, Fanon the freedom fighter and activist, Fanon the chronicler of colonialism, Fanon the diagnostician of racism, Fanon the theorist of time. The cumulative power and promise of the essays gathered here cannot be over-stated. This is just a dazzlingly exciting adventure in reading and thinking." ― Ann Pellegrini, author of Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race\n"This ‘must read’ volume, edited by three phenomenological psychologists, claims Frantz Fanon’s right place at the gateway to critical and decolonial phenomenological psychologies. The book’s chapters, written by world renowned Fanon scholars, make clear Fanon’s importance for critiquing the whiteness of Eurocentric depth psychologies, while opening potential pathways to transdisciplinary psychologies of liberation that begin―as they must―with the racism that sustains coloniality." ― Mary Watkins, author of Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons and co-author of Toward Psychologies of Liberation\n"What more relevant text for our troubled times of racialised pandemic, Black Lives Matter mob

Levinas for Psychologists (Psychology and the Other)

Introduction to Psychology as a Human Science

Cognella Academic Publishing

"Introduction to Psychology as a Human Science gathers together the disparate pieces of the story of psychology as a human science and places this story into the broader history of science in general. The book explains how psychology as a human science is linked to, but distinctly different from, psychology as a natural science. Students first learn how science, knowledge, and truth have been framed since antiquity. Once they have become familiar with these concepts, they are ready to examine the development of science through the ages and see how psychology drew from this development. They study the approaches of Freud and psychoanalysis, as well as existential, humanistic, and transpersonal psychology. The book also includes a chapter on social constructionism, and concludes by revisiting some of its framing questions, such as how best to study human beings, and what it may mean to characterize psychology as a science. Introduction to Psychology as a Human Science responds to three linked questions. How does each of the approaches view human beings? What are the scientific assumptions of each approach, given their view of human beings? What are the scientific methods and procedures through which each approach gathers knowledge? Intelligent and thought-provoking, the text is a unique choice for introductory psychology courses including those that emphasize research methods. Leswin Laubscher is an associate professor and head of the department of psychology in the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts at Duquesne University. He earned his Ph.D. in counseling psychology at Northwestern University and has taught, conducted research, and/or practiced as a psychologist in the United States, Italy, and South Africa. Dr. Laubscher's recent research and writing have explored the intersection of culture and psychology and the importance of the philosophies of Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas for psychology. He is also a principal researcher in an international study that seeks to archive and analyze memories of Apartheid experiences."

Darkest Before Dawn: Writings, Testimonies and Correspondence from the Life of Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe

Essays & Correspondence

Wits University Press

A collection of Robert Sobukwe's political writings, speeches and court testimonies supplemented by an account of his years in Kimberley following release from Robben Island. There are several accounts of Robert Sobukwe's courageous role in contesting South Africa's system of apartheid and of his incarceration on Robben Island after the Anti-Pass Campaign that led to the tragic events of Sharpeville in March 1960. Far less attention has been paid to the years the leader of the Pan-Africanist Congress spent in Kimberley, between 1969-1978, after his release from the Island. Darkest Before Dawn, the follow-up to Lie on Your Wounds: The Prison Correspondence of Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, captures the story of the post-prison years of Sobukwe's life. This latest compilation complete with a biographical narrative by the editors and enriched with images from Sobukwe's life in this period of his life demonstrates the many challenges Sobukwe faced as well as his continued political resolve to fight for an end to apartheid. This is captured in the many meetings he had in spite of banning orders and letters he exchanged with friends and admirers, including the celebrated novelist Bessie Head whose letters to Sobukwe are published here for the first time. Sobukwe continued to meet political allies, such as Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko, he pursued a legal career and played host to international visitors. The portrait of Sobukwe that emerges is that of a highly ethical man, a figure of dignity and fortitude, and a wise elder whose commitment to the people of Africa and to the vision of Pan-Africanism who remained undeterred, despite his being forced to live, in his final years, under near impossible conditions. To do justice to Sobukwe's legacy, his intellectual contribution and his unfailing desire to pursue liberation for the African people, we need to view his biography against the backdrop of his words. Darkest Before Dawn includes a definitive collection of his political writings, speeches, unpublished court testimonies, interviews with Gail Gerhart and Joe Thloloe, and expansive annotations by the compilers. The book ends with a reflective essay which highlights the ongoing pertinence of Sobukwe's legacy.
