Book Review: Great book and an easy read
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to read this book for my African American psychology class. It was very interesting. It provides a historical view of not only African American psychology, but psychology in general. A lot of details, such as the contributions made by African Americans in Psychology are quite frequently left out of typical History and Systems textbooks and lectures. This book is refreshing in that it not only provides detailed and concise information, but pictures and biographies of historical African Americans who have made considerable contributions to the field of psychology. Some of the things talked about in the book are sterilization of people who were placed on welfare and those that are considered mentally incompetent, illegal testing and experimentation of prisoners, how psychological tests were originally designed and existed for the sole purpose to show that whites are superior than other races (sadly, which still occurs among some psychologists today), racism associated with the APA, how G. Stanley Hall was a public racist but anonymously promoted the education of blacks in psychology, and perhaps most importantly how psychological tests were used in promoting genetic superiority of blacks (tests and private companies were funded to help genetically engineer white people who were superior, and funds were allocated to pay blacks not to have children). This book is outstanding, it isn't full of psychological jargon, so anyone can read it. Would recommend it to everyone.
