As inequality persists across various sectors of contemporary society, we must confront the question: Is psychoanalysis too exclusive and privileged to be relevant to social, economic, and racial justice struggles? Do its ideas and practices remain foreign to people of color? Can it aid us in understanding the stability of oppressive systems and the internalization of oppression? In A Peoples History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology, Daniel José Gaztambide delves into the often overlooked history of social justice within the realm of psychoanalysis. Beginning with the pioneering work of Sigmund Freud and the initial generation of left-leaning psychoanalysts, Gaztambide traces a series of interconnected psychoanalytic concepts and social justice movements that culminated in the influential works of Frantz Fanon, Paulo Freire, and Ignacio Martín-Baró. Through this intellectual genealogy, Gaztambide presents a psychoanalytically informed theory of race, class, and internalized oppression that emerged from the collaborative efforts of psychoanalysts and racial justice advocates across generations, ultimately giving rise to liberation psychology. This book is highly recommended for students and scholars engaged in political activism, critical pedagogy, and clinical work.
