Black Identity

Abstract

The psychology that is presented in mainstream introductory text books is usually described as a psychology of people and behaviour. But what people? And how is that behaviour judged? It is fair to say that most European psychology courses are Eurocentric, and tend to describe the world from the viewpoint of White, educated, middle-class people. There are, of course, many other peoples in the world (and many others in Europe), and the way they construct their view of the world and their behaviour has a number of differences from the White Eurocentric account.
