This edited volume seeks to critically engage with the diversity of feminist and post-colonial theory to counter hegemonic Western knowledge in mainstream community psychology. In doing so, it situates paradigms of thought and representation that capture the lived experiences of those in the global South. Specifically, the book takes an intersectional approach towards its reshaping of community psychology, centering African, black, postcolonial, and decolonial feminist critiques in its 1) critique of existing hegemonic Euro-American community psychology concepts, theories, and practice, 2) proposal of new feminist, indigenous, and decolonial methodological approaches, and 3) real-life examples of engagement, research, dialogue, and reflexive qualitative psychology practice. The book concludes with an agenda for theorization and research for future practice in postcolonial contexts. The volume is relevant to researchers, practitioners, and students in psychology, anthropology, sociology, public health, development studies, social work, urban studies, and women’s and gender studies across global contexts. .

This book explores the potential of Pan-African thought in contributing to advancing psychological research, theory and practice. Euro/American mainstream psychology has historically served the interests of a dominant western paradigm. Contemporary trends in psychological work have emerged as a direct result of the impact of violent histories of slavery, genocide and colonisation. Hence, this book proposes that psychology, particularly in its social forms, as a discipline centered on the relationship between mind and society, is well-placed to produce the critical knowledge and tools for imagining and promoting a just and equitable world.

"This book offers an incisively critical interrogation of the often understated centrality and excesses of psychology as a discipline, practice and technology in the sins of inequality, unequal encounters, conquest, domination, violence and violation; while simultaneously pointing the reader to emergent promising alternative perspectives for the edification of the ideals of pan-Africanism and the elusive quest for an inclusive humanity." -Francis B. Nyamnjoh, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cape Town, South Africa "A necessary corrective to the persisting obfuscation of coloniality and scientific racism in mainstream psychology, this book is highly commended for picking up the unresolved questions of psychology and bringing disparate sources together with a view to catalyzing the transforming of a discipline that has proved recalcitrant. This book is rich with possibilities that if pursued, may contribute productively to the myriad challenges of decolonial times." -Professor Amina Mama, Kwame Nkrumah Chair: University of Ghana, Institute of African Studies, Professor in Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies: University of California, Davis.

Based on interviews with women who are HIV positive, this sobering pandemic brings to light the deeply rooted and complex problems of living with HIV. Already pushed to the edges of society by poverty, racial politics, and gender injustice, women with HIV in South Africa have found ways to cope with work and men, disclosure of their HIV status, and care for families and children to create a sense of normalcy in their lives. As women take control of their treatment, they help to determine effective routes to ending the spread of the disease.
