What are the best science-based books on the effects of racism or colonialism on the Black psyche?
‘The Psychology of Oppression’ - E.J.R. David ‘Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome’ - Dr Joy DeGruy ‘Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority’ - Tom Burrell ‘Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature’ - Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

I might be late to the party, but ‘Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism’ is a straightforward and insightful book that sheds light on the impact of technology on the Black psyche in today’s society. It’s a great read, and I believe it’s so important to understand black history as we navigate this ever-evolving technological era. 😊
The one you’re going to write ☺️👏🏽
I want to hear other peoples suggestion on this one! ’The Burden of Heritage’, Alleyne, A (2022) is a very heavy book but I appreciate a lot how she describe it step by step. Also, the effects of anything can me measured from so many different perspectives, are you looking for a specific one?
