InThe Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race, Fanny Brewster revisits and examines Jung's classical writing on the theory of complexes, relating it directly to race in modern society. In this groundbreaking exploration, Brewster deepens Jung's minimalist writing regarding the cultural complexes of American blacks and whites by identifying and re-defining a psychological complex related to ethnicity. Original and insightful, this book provides a close reading of Jung's complexes theory with an Africanist perspective on raciality and white/black racial relationships. Brewster explores how racial complexes influence personality development, cultural behavior and social and political status, and how they impact contemporary American racial relations. She also investigates aspects of the racial complex including archetypal shadow as core, constellations and their expression, and cultural trauma in the African diaspora. The book concludes with a discussion of racial complexes as a continuous psychological state and how to move towards personal, cultural and collective healing. Analyzing Jung's work with a renewed lens, and providing fresh comparisons to other literature and films, includingGet Out, Brewster extends Jung's work to become more inclusive of culture and ethnicity, addressing issues which have been left previously unexamined in psychoanalytic thought. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, this book will be of great importance to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, sociology, politics, history of race, African American studies and African diaspora studies. As this book discusses Jung's complexes theory in a new light, it will be of immense interest to Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training. | The Racial Complex by Fanny Brewster, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
