Abstract:
|
In this article the author reflects on racism from a personal and socio-political angle. He describes how the continuous repetition of racist trauma in personal and societal life not only damages the psyche of individuals but also has a detrimental effect on interpersonal and intergenerational relations. He further describes the work of USEMI, a project which offers psychoanalytic psychotherapy to Black men, and by doing so presents the possibilities and limitations of psychoanalysis to help those suffering under the psychological effects of racism.
