Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "History of Psychology in the Black Experience Perspectives uniquely approaches the history of human psychology by weaving together the psychological elements of ancient Egyptians. The psychological contents of the medieval and contemporary sub-Saharan Africans and the psychological experiences of Diasporan Africans were woven into the annals and systems of human psychology. The text reviews the manner by which the early Europeans took ideas and institutions from the ancient Blacks and how they changed these ideas and principles to create a psychology in their own perspectives. The book explores the psychological ideas and achievements of medieval Africans, presents the historical contributions of African-centered psychology or "psycho-Africalysis" in a unique manner, and outlines the collaborations of the continuous work, research and developments among continental African, Diasporan African and good faith Euro-American psychologists. The book is ideal for courses in the history and systems of psychology, African continental psychology, African American psychology, and the psychology of Black experience."--Publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of the Negro: An Experimental Study Interest in the psychology of the negro has produced a voluminous literature, but the knowledge to be obtained from a reading of it is not commensurately extensive. It may be not unjustly said that until what is practically the present time our information as to the negro's intellectual characteristics has been almost wholly a product of varying individual opinion and speculation. Here and there have appeared works of value, based upon study and experience and presenting carefully drawn conclusions. But for the most part the literature consists of articles which have grown out of limited and untrustworthy observation, and of articles which have attacked the problem from the standpoint of preconceived theories and have reached conclusions a priori from the premises thus held. There has been no settled body of doctrine concerning the vastly important matter of the mental capacity of the negro. One man has held that the negro is the equal of the white in intellect; another has held that a great intellectual gulf separates the two races. And there have been many varieties of views between these two extremes. There have been no facts agreed upon and consequently no reliable generalizations. Yet social practices of far-reaching importance have been based upon these varying views. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Why Is Racism So Destructive? As the collective soul of American society continues to evolve, it seems our Country has become more racially-divided than ever before. From police brutality, to race-riots, to media propaganda, it seems that in recent times, racism has triggered increased levels of separation, hostility, and resentment amongst American citizens. As with all previous generations of America's young existence, racial conflict continues to be the most damaging issue facing our Nation. In Volume I of this three-part book series, The Psychology of Racism tackles the controversial subject of racism by meticulously dissecting and examining the insidious psychological connection between Black male underachievement (i.e. high school drop-out, unemployment, criminality, life-expectancy, and psychological dysfunction) and American racism. The 4 primary goals of this book are to: 1. Present a clear explanation of the deeply complex nature of American racism. 2. Outline a concrete explanation of the insidious connection between American racism and the psychological functioning of Black males. 3. Provide a theory-based rationale and reason for why Black males have evolved into the most underachieving category of American citizen. 4. Introduce a racially-contextualized therapeutic model for re-conditioning and re-empowering the stigmatized minds of Black males. *Charts, diagrams, and ample space for note-taking are provided in this book.
