Psychodynamic Speculations of Derogatory Names for Blacks.

Kloss, Robert J.

Journal of Black Psychology, v5 n2 p85-97 Feb 1979

The phenomenon of linguistic racism is explored through the application of the psychoanalytic theory of Joel Kovel's "White Racism: A Psychohistory" and through the data of other related research. It is argued that the persistencies of derogatory names directed at Blacks indicate a deeper acculturated prejudice. (Author/EB)
