A descriptive paragraph of the project:
Racial oppression’s institutional and interpersonal levels have had a substantial amount of empirical attention. Little is known, however, about internalized racism and the paths through which it has such negative effects on mental health. In this paper we describe a conceptualization of internalized racism within a post-colonial context: the colonial mentality. The general goal of SCISSOR is to further establish Colonial Mentality as a key concept in the study of and social and clinical interventions with Black populations in post-colonial contexts. In particular, we will in conduct studies in Portugal and Brazil and focus on how different systems (family and other social groups) are influenced and influence the ongoing dynamic of racial oppression.
