"Sachs has crossed a barrier few others have crossed and brought back with him not only a wealth of information but an absorbing story. He makes psychoanalysis a technique for a new literary experience. A perfectly straightforward account of extraordinary interest and vividness." -- London Times
"An immensely interesting work... As sheer drama, this story... has the power of Greek tragedy." -- Saturday Review of Literature
A Jewish physician and pioneering psychiatrist, Wulf Sachs first met the man he calls "John Chavafambira" in a Johannesburg slum. The year was 1933, and Sachs wanted to learn whether psychoanalysis was applicable across different cultures. John, as he is called throughout, was a Manyika healer-diviner eager to learn the methods of European medicine. For the next two-and-a-half years Sachs psychoanalyzed John by means of free association. The result is Black Hamlet--a narrative, even novelistic, reconstruction of one black South African's life set against the background of two worlds in collision. First published in 1937 to widespread acclaim, this classic work now returns to print in a new paperback edition.
"Some sixty years after its first publication, the text still reads with a remarkable urgency. It has much to offer a modern readership with interests in the construction of social identity, the relationship between knowledge and power, and the interconnections between psychoanalytic, literary, and historical thought. The concerns of its audience today, in a postapartheid and postcolonial world, are very different from those at the time in which it was written. And yet, these concerns are not entirely different. The central question of the book--What dialogue is possible across boundaries of race, nation, and culture?--remains as pressing as ever."--Saul Dubow and Jacqueline Rose, from the Preface

p/b. Zustand: Fine. 1st thus, orig. ed. 1937. f/piece (photo of Chavafambira and author)+340 (Introductions to p.67 ). no obvious flaws - clean, tight & unmarked inside and out, trivial rub bottom back outer corner. Sachs somewhat rethought and revised the 1937 edition in a 2nd.1947 post-war, edition retitled 'Black Anger' (much re-issued), this however reprints the original edition. The Introductions are an important contribution in their own right to the understanding of racism and the complex ways in which psychoanalysis and psychology have engaged in combatting it.
