Book Review: Even the Rat Was white A historical View of Psychology - Synopsis
Summary: 4 Stars
Even the rat Was White is a overly interesting and revealing book. The author Robert V. Guthrie touches on one of the most hidden issues in today's society: racism. Reading this work we can clearly understand where we get our contemporary ideas of racial differences from. No other book that I have ever reed have touch racism and discrimination as cut and dry as this one does. It was really amazing to learn about how racial differences were assessed prior our times, the biased theories that supported it was only the white man that could have intelligence and that beside the white man all other races where significantly inferior. We also can have a realist side to the story because the author himself was an African American. The author then describes all the hazel that American Black psychologist had to go through to first eve have the right to study at a University and even more problematic to be able to be recognize as professional that had valuable contributions to make to the field of Psychology. Towards the end of the book we can say that it wants to change that negative perspective of the dark beginnings of psychology and its linkage to racism and discrimination -the author talk about a series of psychologist who them where fully recognize. This book is an amazing work not only for psychology or those interested of knowing about history of a certain field of education-this book awakes your senses and makes you reevaluate you core values and analyze the facts that are given in the book for what they are. Psychology have been granted with a realistic, research based, revealing and unforgettable work with the publication of this book. This is a book that not only those in field of psychology should read -everyone who wants to give a second though to their schemas about other people, races or costumes most read
