The Violence of Liberal Racism: What Palestine Reveals About British Mental Health Care
The Violence of Liberal Racism: What Palestine Reveals About British Mental Health Care is a new report examining what the genocide in Palestine has revealed about the racist logics of British mental healthcare. It does so by exploring the experiences of those who have been managed, silenced or disciplined for Palestine solidarity. It concludes that the legitimacy afforded to counterterrorism and Zionism’s racist logics are fundamental to the erasure and repression of Palestine solidarity. A space is not simply safe and anti-racist because it is claimed to be. Racial formations must be theorised and understood. For a healing space to become truly anti-racist, especially with regards to Palestine, it must contend with counterterrorism and Zionism. The Muslim, State and Mind: Psychology in Times of Islamophobia
Synopsis: Mental health is positioned as the cure-all for society’s discontents, from pandemics to terrorism. But psychology and psychiatry are not apolitical, and neither are Muslims. This book unpacks where the politics of the psy-disciplines and the politics of Muslims overlaps, demonstrating how psychological theories and practices serve State interests and perpetuate inequality—especially racism and Islamophobia. Viewing the psy-disciplines from the margins, this book illustrates how these necessarily serve the State in the production of loyal, low-risk and productive citizens, offering a modern discussion of three paradigms underlying the psy-disciplines: neoliberalism, security and the politics of mental health.
