The Healing of a Nation
The Healing of a Nation won the 1971 Anisfield-Wolf Award for the best scholarly book in the field of race relations. The book applies the insights of modern psychology and sociology to an exploration of the causes and cures of racism. Taking a fresh look at the works of such giants as Pavlov, Freud, Marx, Myrdal, and Kurt Lewin, David Loye shows us how their theories and findings can be used to help solve our racial dilemma.
