Political Freud A History
In this book the author reveals the power of Freudian thought to illuminate the crucial conflicts of the twentieth century. Developing an original concept of political Freudianism, the author shows how twentieth century radicals, activists and intellectuals used psychoanalytic ideas to understand and critique consumer capitalism, racial violence, anti Semitism, and patriarchy. The author also underscores the continuing influence and critical potential of these ideas for the present.
