The book begins with how Lacan uses Freud's Jewishness as a marginalized perspective that reveals the excluded dimensions of signification within the symbolic order, and examines James Joyce's anti-colonial politics and its significance for Lacan's conception of the sinthome. The book includes a critique of Slavoj Zizek's Eurocentric reading of Malcolm X as a foil with which colonized speech could be conceived as \"symbolic dispossession\". Finally, it reframes the notion of \"the gap\" by understanding global capitalism as a mode of exchange to advocate for a decolonial psychoanalysis that focuses on the non-spaces of transmission as opposed to a like-for-like export of the clinic from the center to the periphery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecolonization and Psychoanalysis\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and to scholars of psychoanalytic studies, critical theory, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahmad Fuad Rahmat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032482222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032482224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Ahmad Fuad Rahmat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621881917695,"sku":"9781032482224","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonization-and-psychoanalysis-ahmad-fuad-rahmat-9781032482224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
