DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, an interdisciplinary team of scientists at the Unive
 rsity of Oxford reported the results of a drug trial\, which claimed that 
 a drug could reduce implicit racial bias among its users. Shortly after th
 e experiment\, an article in Time Magazine\, citing the study\, asked the 
 question: Is racism becoming a mental illness? But the idea of racism as a
  mental illness is much older\, having its roots in the genealogies of rac
 e and racism as psychopathological categories from mid-19th century Europe
  and the United States up to today.  From the early Zionists to Freud and 
 then from Adorno through Fanon\, racism became a mental illness.  But what
  did this imply?\n
