DIAGNOSING WHITENESS & ANTI-BLACKNESS: WHITE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, COLLECTIVE PSYCHOSIS, AND TRAUMA IN AMERICA

Law shapes culture. Religion shapes culture. Education shapes culture. Institutional policies and practices shape culture.

This foundational premise drives Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness: White Psychopathology, Trauma, and Collective Psychosis in America, a bold and incisive exploration of the construction of race—specifically Whiteness—as a socio-political, socio-cultural, psycho-social, psycho-political, psycho-economic, and socioeconomic force. The book exposes the deeply entrenched nature of anti-Blackness within America’s foundation, challenging conventional narratives about history, law, and culture.

Through meticulous research, this work documents the systemic and systematic violence inflicted upon Black people, revealing how Whiteness and anti-Blackness have been woven into the very fabric of America’s cultural psychology. Readers are guided through numerous legal and historical cases to uncover how these ideologies have shaped the lives of both Black and White individuals, profoundly influencing societal beliefs, behaviors, and interactions.

In today’s sociopolitical climate—where concepts like Critical Race Theory, Black Lives Matter, wokeness, and intersectionality dominate public discourse—Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness offers a critical lens to examine how the American legal system has codified White supremacy, anti-non-Whiteness, and anti-Blackness. This book is an essential read for those seeking to understand the pervasive influence of America’s institutions on its cultural and psychological landscape.
