Psychology has been accused of ‘psychologizing’ racism. Here, we summarize the argument that Psychology routinely neglects structural racism and historical legacies of racism. We then discuss two cases—healthcare and police use of force—in which studying individual bias could benefit from incorporating a focus on structures and history. We close by echoing others who have advocated that Psychology move forward with a better integrated view of racism; in particular, we suggest a socioecological view that contextualizes individual bias within the relevant realities of historical and structural racism. | Psychology has been accused of ‘psychologizing’ racism.

The history of scientific discovery is overwhelmingly told as a narrative of the lives and discoveries of a series of remarkable white men. Christa Kuljian's real triumph in this book is that she reframes the narrative of paleoanthropological discovery in South Africa as a tale of flawed men who succeed—through some combination of luck, skill, personality and perseverance—literally and figuratively on the backs of black bodies. | |||
