Böcker av Jock McCulloch

In no other society in the world have urbanisation and industrialisation been as comprehensively based on migrant labour as in South Africa. Rather than focusing on displacement and oppression, A Long Way Home captures the humanity, agency and creative modes of self-expression of the millions of workers who helped to build and shape modern South Africa.

In this history of psychiatry in colonial Africa, Jock McCulloch describes the clinical approaches of well-known European practitioners, including Frantz Fanon and Wulf Sachs. By exploring the association between settler ideology and psychiatric research, this study examines colonial science as a system of knowledge and power.

Frantz Fanon (1925-61) was a political psychologist whose approach to revolutionary theory was grounded in his psychiatric practice. These papers illuminate his political theory, expose weaknesses in his concept of political consciousness and liberation, and contain a 'secret history' explaining the tide of revolutionary movements in the Third World.
