Reviews

Encouraging readers to explore the brain as a biosocial organ, Lewis weaves together research in neuroscience and African-Centered/Black psychology with contemporary illustrations of oppression and their historic backdrops to make evident the need for an inclusive and deepened cultural neuroscience. Stressing the ways in which the brain is shaped by sociocultural impact, her treatment of cultural neuroscience makes clear the necessity of a shift toward the worldview of optimal psychology found capable of more effectively addressing human needs and providing solutions to global problems. -- Linda James Myers, Ohio State University, author of <i>Understanding an Afrocentric World View: Introduction to an Optimal Psychology</i>
