A New Perspective on Race and Color: Research on an Outer Vs Inner Orientation to Anti-Black Dispositions

This volume seeks to present a new perspective on race and colour by introducing a new approach to research on the subject. It explores the thesis that in regard to the black race and race-related colours and concepts in American society, outer versus inner-oriented Caucasians: may carry different fear and evaluative associative thought patterns; may have different connotative meanings for race and race-related colours and concepts; may show fear differently in terms of projections and level of fear when the black race is a factor in regard to power and intimacy. The text explores the symbolic link between anti-black dispositions and fear of, as well as evaluative attributions about, the nature of the unconscious.
