by Bobby E. Wright (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Presents a thought-provoking examination of the group personality of Europeans, as manifest in their behavior towards Black people. In the essay "The Psychopathic Racial Personality," Dr. Bobby Wright contends that viewing white behavior towards nonwhites as psychopathic provides a new lens through which to analyze and combat the actions and aims of Europeans. The essay "Black Suicide: Lynching by Any Other Name" positions the phenomenon of Black suicide within the context of centuries of white genocide. In other essays Dr. Wright discusses ways in which to best educate Black children and sheds new light on the evolution of white supremacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely something to make you think., July 21, 1999

By	Muata Hondo Nantambu Diop ([e-mail]) (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This is a tremendously provocative work. It expresses theses which the open-minded reader must concede are tenable, albeit they may be hard to digest. Many times Truth is hard to digest. We can debate on the merit of Wright's opinions all day long. We all know that pyschology is not an exact science. This book's greatness is not based on your agreement or disagreement with its positions. This is a great book because it is thought provoking and revolutionary. It expresses theories that you have probably never conceived. So whether you consider Wright's arguments sophistry or indeed true, you have to agree that most of the ideas expressed are plasusible. Because pyschology is basically a science of opinion, the ideas of most great pyschologists were perceived outrageous by many (e.g., Freud, Jung, Watson, etc.). Wright's ideas are similiar to those of the aforementioned pyschologists in that they are controversial but great.
