Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome Discussion Part 2
from The Forefront Radio Hosted by The Forefront Radio
Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing is a 2005 theoretical work by Dr. Joy Degruy Leary. The book argues that the experience of slavery in the United States and the continued discrimination and oppression endured by African Americans creates intergenerational psychological trauma, leading to a psychological and behavioral syndrome common among present-day African Americans, manifesting as a lack of self-esteem, persistent feelings of anger, and internalized racist beliefs. The book was first published by Uptone Press in Milwaukie, Oregon in 2005, with a later re-release by the author in 2017. This is part 2 of the discussion on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome with Dr. Joy Degruy.
