Summary
  1. Race, Racism and Psychology shows how difficult it is for psychology to be an objective science, especially when dealing with issues like race. By examining psychology's treatment of race and racism issues since the nineteenth century, Graham Richards finds that the discipline has been an important site where broader cultural debates on "race" are played out. Topics include scientific racism in the late 1800s, negro personality studies in the US (1930-1960), Nazi racist psychology, the emergence of a US black psychology and the race and IQ controversies of the seventies.
