Freud and the Non-European

Freud and the Non-European collects writings by Edward Said and responses from psychoanalytic scholars, exploring Freud’s work in relation to colonialism and non-European contexts.

The volume interrogates the Eurocentric assumptions in Freud’s thought and considers how psychoanalysis might be rethought through postcolonial critique.

Contributors analyze the intersections of culture, empire, and psychoanalytic theory, addressing how non-European subjectivities have been represented or marginalized.

The book situates Freud within broader historical and geopolitical frameworks, opening space for critical dialogue across disciplines.

It is influential for those studying psychoanalysis, postcolonial theory, and cultural critique.
