The book explores the pervasive yet overlooked racism within psychoanalysis, tracing its roots to the colonialist narratives of late nineteenth-century anthropology that influenced Freud's foundational works. It highlights the ongoing impact of these biases in the field, particularly in light of recent racial violence in the US, prompting a critical re-evaluation of academic disciplines and institutions for their inherent racial prejudices. The analysis calls for a deeper understanding of how these historical influences shape contemporary psychoanalytic practices and theories.
