Review of: The Multicultural Imagination: "Race," Color, and The Unconscious

Reviews the book The multicultural imagination: “Race,” color, and the unconscious by Michael Vannoy Adams (see record 1997-97515-000).This is a powerful, well written, and meticulously researched book. From the beginning the author makes it clear that the thrust of the text turns on three interlocking dimensions: history, theory, and clinical practice. When dealing with race, color, and the fluid dynamics of the unconscious, this information on the "eye" of the narrator adds immensely to our intuitive understanding. This book emerges as a significant and lucid investigation of the place of race and color in the fluid dynamics of the unconscious. It belongs on the bookshelf of the student of dreams who wants to go beyond the usual timidity of clinicians on matters of race and color and enter the deeper waters of the vast unconscious.
