In this bold new political and intellectual history of the Nation of Islam, Garrett Felber centers the Nation in the Civil Rights Era and the making of the modern carceral state.

Sigmund Freud, le père de la psychanalyse, expose dans les "Essais de psychanalyse" ses théories concernant la structure psychique humaine.

"Le Moi et le Ça" est la dernière partie des "Essais". Tout l'édifice psychanalytique est ainsi érigé dès 1923, à travers ce texte théorique et accessible, qui n'en finit pas de questionner notre fonctionnement de pensée.
