Freud And The Non European by Edward W. Said
A concise, postcolonial critique that re-reads Freud’s work to show how psychoanalytic theory is entangled with European imperial assumptions about non-European peoples; it argues that Freud’s claims to universality often rest on and reproduce hierarchical, racialized constructions of cultural difference, examines the ways colonial power shapes psychological knowledge and representation, and calls for a critical reassessment of psychoanalysis that accounts for historical context, power relations, and the silenced perspectives of colonized subjects.
