These include racism, sexism, civil rights, poverty, militarism, education, and politics. Psychology was not developed to directly address social issues. It must therefore be reconceptualised to fulfil this aim. In this book Carl Ratner makes use of Vygotskys psychological approach known as 'cultural-historical psychology, supplemented by Martin-Baros Liberation Psychology and the work of Bourdieu and Foucault to develop an emancipatory psychological theory. This approach is then utilized to lay out a specific program of social and psychological emancipation. This reconstructed psychological theory is also used to evaluate populist movements that aim at social and psychological emancipation. Ratner posits that populism is inadequate to solve social and psychological problems because it misunderstands the nature of society and what it takes to improve society and psychology. This is demonstrated through wide-ranging examples including populist feminism, populist socialism, and populist distortions of liberation psychology and cultural-historical psychology. This lively critique opens a pathway for academic across the social sciences concerned with how their disciplines can be oriented toward understanding and solving social-psychological problems, and will appeal to wide readership including policy makers, and social activists. Carl Ratner is Director of the Institute for Cultural Research and Education, USA and a cultural psychologist working on political aspects of psychology and culture. He is active in the cooperative movement and his previous works include Politics of Cooperation & Co-Ops (2016) and Neoliberal Psychology (2019). 000916180 650_0 $$aSocial psychology. 000916180 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783030280253 000916180 830_0 $$aCritical theory and practice in psychology and the human sciences. 000916180 852__ $$bebk 000916180 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-28026-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000916180 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:916180$$pGLOBAL_SET 000916180 980__ $$aEBOOK 000916180 980__ $$aBIB 000916180 982__ $$aEbook 000916180 983__ $$aOnline 000916180 994__ $$a92$$bISE
