Pan-Africanism and psychology in decolonial times[electronic resource] /by Shose Kessi, Floretta Boonzaier, Babette Stephanie Gekeler. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xii, 180 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Pan-African psychologies,2523-8272. - Pan-African psychologies..

Chapter 1 Pan-Africanism and Psychology Resistance, liberation and decoloniality -- Chapter 2 Pan-Africanism Histories, synergies and contradictions -- Chapter 3 National identity, xenophobic violence and Pan-African psychology -- Chapter 4 African feminisms, Pan-Africanism and psychology -- Chapter 5 Institutional racism and the university in Africa: A focus on South Africa -- Chapter 6 Methodologies, ethics and critical reflexive practices for a Pan-African psychology -- Chapter 7 Towards a Pan-African psychology of restorative and reparatory justice -- Chapter 8 Concluding remarks: Can a Pan-African psychology address the wounds of slavery, colonization, and apartheid?

"This book offers an incisively critical interrogation of the often understated centrality and excesses of psychology as a discipline, practice and technology in the sins of inequality, unequal encounters, conquest, domination, violence and violation; while simultaneously pointing the reader to emergent promising alternative perspectives for the edification of the ideals of pan-Africanism and the elusive quest for an inclusive humanity." -Francis B. Nyamnjoh, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cape Town, South Africa "A necessary corrective to the persisting obfuscation of coloniality and scientific racism in mainstream psychology, this book is highly commended for picking up the unresolved questions of psychology and bringing disparate sources together with a view to catalyzing the transforming of a discipline that has proved recalcitrant. This book is rich with possibilities that if pursued, may contribute productively to the myriad challenges of decolonial times." -Professor Amina Mama, Kwame Nkrumah Chair: University of Ghana, Institute of African Studies, Professor in Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies: University of California, Davis. USA This book explores the potential of Pan-African thought in contributing to advancing psychological research, theory and practice. Euro/American mainstream psychology has historically served the interests of a dominant western paradigm. Contemporary trends in psychological work have emerged as a direct result of the impact of violent histories of slavery, genocide and colonisation. Hence, this book proposes that psychology, particularly in its social forms, as a discipline centered on the relationship between mind and society, is well-placed to produce the critical knowledge and tools for imagining and promoting a just and equitable world.
