Political Freud: A History Zaretsky EliPaperback
In this masterful history, Eli Zaretsky reveals the power of Freudian thought to illuminate the great political conflicts of the twentieth century. He also underscores the continuing influence and critical potential of those ideas in the transformed landscape of the present. Developing an original concept of "political Freudianism," he shows how twentieth-century radicals, activists, and intellectuals used psychoanalytic ideas to probe consumer capitalism, racial violence, anti-Semitism, and patriarchy.
He finds that theories of mass psychology and the unconscious were central to the study of fascism and the Holocaust; to African American radical thought, particularly the struggle to overcome the legacy of slavery; to the Zaretsky's conception of political Freudianism unites the two overarching themes of the last century--totalitarianism and consumerism--in a single framework.
