• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines colonial structure as it applies to Latine populations and demonstrates how the remnants of that structure continue to affect this ethnic group. It reveals the racist underpinnings of the colonial perspective and its ability to undermine psychological stability. Many psychologists dealing with this population focus on individual deficits or disorders without the clarifying lens of social justice. Countering that, this book unravels the various strands of socio-political stressors and the disabling effects of lingering oppression. It brings important new insights for mental health professionals as well as researchers, offering an identification of a native psychology that is uniquely tailored to this population. · Emphasizes the structural violence component · Fosters understanding of colonialism as an ongoing event · Provides a decolonization and decoloniality perspective that is not found in other publications.
