The book begins with how Lacan uses Freud's Jewishness as a marginalized perspective that reveals the excluded dimensions of signification within the symbolic order, and examines James Joyce's anti-colonial politics and its significance for Lacan's conception of the sinthome. The book includes a critique of Slavoj Zizek's Eurocentric reading of Malcolm X as a foil with which colonized speech could be conceived as \"symbolic dispossession\". Finally, it reframes the notion of \"the gap\" by understanding global capitalism as a mode of exchange to advocate for a decolonial psychoanalysis that focuses on the non-spaces of transmission as opposed to a like-for-like export of the clinic from the center to the periphery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecolonization and Psychoanalysis\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and to scholars of psychoanalytic studies, critical theory, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAhmad Fuad Rahmat is assistant professor of Media and Digital Cultures at Nottingham University in Malaysia.
