Landmark Anthology Celebrates Black Psychiatric Leaders and Explores Mental Health in the Black Community

Edited by esteemed psychiatrists Donna Norris M.D., M.P.H. and Annelle B. Primm M.D., this comprehensive anthology brings together over four decades of insights from the American Psychiatric Association’s Solomon Carter Fuller Award lectures.

A Multidisciplinary Examination of the Black Experience in the United States

The chapters, written by award-winning psychiatrists, scholars, and experts, provide a cross-sectional analysis of the historical, current, and future societal context that shapes the Black experience in the United States.

Mental Health, Public Health, and the Intersection of Racism and Policy

The anthology delves into the critical intersection of mental health and public health, highlighting the impact of racism, public policy, education, and other key factors on Black communities. Rather than simply presenting challenges, the authors offer reasons for hope, perseverance, and inspiration in the face of adversity.

This seminal work not only celebrates the legacy of pioneering Black psychiatric leaders but also elevates the contributions of today’s professionals and inspires a new generation of mental health advocates.
