Manichean Psychology: Racism and the Minds of People of African Descent"Most of the current research is concerned with the third domain. Scholars have generated analyses of deteriorated family structures, negative attitudes, violent behavior, and poor academic achievement, among others.

It is the purpose of Manichean Psychology to fill this void.". |
