Transcending the Legacies of Slavery - A Psychoanalytic View

About the author

Barbara Fletchman Smith

Summary

This book puts psychological trauma at its centre. Using psychoanalysis, it assesses what was lost, how it was lost and how the loss is compulsively repeated over generations. There is a conceptualization of this trauma as circular. Such a situation makes it stubbornly persistent.
