Research dealing with the manifold role of racism in mental health has been sadly underrepresented as a proportion of the total work in the mental health field. Frequently, social aspects of mental tealth have been overlooked. This publication is an initial effort by the Center for Minority Group Mental Health Programs of the National Institute of Mental Health toward generating the necessary machinery for compiling and abstracting the results of research and experience in the field. The Center.hopes that this annotated bibliography will encourage the growth of scholarly works on the relationship betwee,_ racism and mental health to develop as a legitimate and honorable effort for doctoral and postdoctoral training. This bibliography was developed from the scientific information files of the National Clearinghouse for Mental Health Information of the National Institute of Mental. Health, and contains a comprehensive listing of all abstracts relating to racism available from the computerized information files of the Clearinghouse at the time of publication.

It pervasively influences every single institution in our society. What is the impact of racism on the mind ofman? Needless to say, that research dealing withthe manifold role of racism in mental health has been sadly underrepresented as aproportion of the total work in the mental health field. Frequently, racial aspects of mental health have been either ignored orunderplayed to the point of abandonment. This publication is an initial effort by the Centerfor Minority Group Mental Health Programs of the National Instituteof Mental Health towar0 generating the necessary machinery for compilingand abstracting the results of research and experience in thefield. it is hoped this bibliography will encourage the growth ofscholarly works on the rela- tionship between racism and mental health todevelop it as a legitimate and honorable effort for doctoral andpostdoctoral training. For, if racism is a mental disease--as is believed bymany--then the task of mental health disciplines is to discern its causesand direct its cure. Increasing understanding in order to root outand eliminate racism is indeed a worthy objective for all Americans. No other single issue in domestic affairs has more profound implicationsregarding America's success in achieving its own ideals, orthe kinds of social changes that must be carried out to attain them.

THE RADICAL REORGANIZATION OF THE WAYOR LIFE OF THE MASSES AND THE ENSUINGSTRESSES CREATE MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND PROBLEMS FOR MENTAL HYGIENE. EFFORTS MUST BE DIRECTED TOWARD (1) FRINGING ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONDITIONSOF BOTH PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL WORK, (2) ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS AND PHYSICAL CULTURE, AND (3) DEVELOPINGEFFECTIVE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS IN THE FAMILY AND IN SOCIETY AS AWHOLE. MENTAL HYGIENE ALSO HAS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE COMMUNISTSTRUGGLE AGAINST RELIGION. EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESTRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND BRAIN AND THEMATERIAL BASIS OF PSYCHIC ACTIVITY CAN DO MUCH TO OVERCOME THEHARM DONE TO THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE BY RELIGIOUS PREJUDICES, BELIEFS,AND CEREMONIES. MASS PROPAGANDA IS AN IMPORTANT MEANS OF PREVENTINGNEUROSTS, MANY OF WHICH ARISE PROM VESTIGES OF THE PASTSURVIVING IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE PEOPLE AND FROM THE TENSIONS ANDDIFFICULTIES CAUSED BY THIS TRANSITIONAL PHASE OF RUSSIAN HISTORY.

IN 1899, AN "EXPERIMENTAL" "UNGRADED" CLASS OF 25 TO 35 PUPILS WAS ESTABLISHED AT A SCHOOL ATTENDED BY NEGRO AND WHITE CHILDREN. A NEGRO TEACHER WAS HIRED TO TEACH THE CLASS, WHICH CONSISTED ONLY OF NEGROES. HOWEVER, A THREAT OF BOYCOTT BY THE NEGROES LED TO THE DECISION THAT NEGRO PARENTS COULD REQUEST THAT THEIR CHILDREN BE RETURNED TO GRADED CLASSES. IN 1905, 2 T'F, JIM CROW CLASSES WERE CREATED. AN IMMEDIATE BOYCOTT PY THE NEGROES RESULTED. THE SCHOOL BOARD DECLARED THAT WHEN A SUErICTE'T NUMBER OF AFRO-AMERICAN PUPILS ATTENDED A SCHOOL, SUCH PUPILS COULD BE TAVGH- SEPARATELY. THIS ANGERED THE NEGROES AS WELL AS WHITE SYmPATHIZEPc, INCLUDING A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. NEGROES OPENED CLASSES FOP THEIR CHILDREN AT 2 CHURCHES. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE ISSUE HE BROUGHT TO COURT BUT, DUE TO THE AMBIGUITY OF THE LAW, A LEGISLATIVE EFFORT REPLACED THIS ATTEMPT. THE BOYCOTT CONTINUED, BUT THE PROTEST MOVEMENT FAILED DUE TO FACTIONALISM AMONG THE NEGROES, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN OLD AND NEW RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY, AND TO THE DECLINE or WHITE SUPPORT.
