Description

Robin McCoy Brooks explores the intersection of psychoanalysis and social action in this thought-provoking work. She builds her conceptual arguments through a nuanced reading of key thinkers, including Kristeva, Lacan, Heidegger, Žižek, Badiou, and Jung.

The author illustrates her thesis with clinical illustrations, an auto-ethnographic study of the emergence of an AIDS clinic, and a detailed analysis of trans-subjectivity in the context of US black revolutionary transitional time. Brooks examines how these concepts relate to the real-world issues of identity, community, and social change.

This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationships between psychoanalysis, catastrophe, and social action, making it an important contribution to the fields of political science, psychology, and movements studies.
