| contents | Building Solidarity With and Without Community Psychology Nick Malherbe Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology ABSTRACT When dictated by neoliberal policy mandates, individualised empowerment agendas, Eurocentric hermeneutics, and top‐down development strategies, community psychology is held back from contributing meaningfully to community‐led solidarity efforts. There is, however, a tradition of critical community psychology that has been shaped and led by the solidarity demands of organised community struggle. Working in this critical tradition, I rely on reflection as a method to engage with the challenges and lessons that I have encountered in working with social movements in two South African communities. Specifically, I reflect on using critical community psychology to facilitate agonistic interactions between activists, communicate solidarity struggles in and across communities, and instigate community‐directed dialogue between community activists and state actors. I also reflect on when solidarity‐building necessitates community psychologists walking away from community psychology's institutional requirements. By way of conclusion, I reiterate that critical community psychology praxes can make use of reflection as a method through which to foster solidarities among seemingly disparate community struggles. 10.1002/casp.70113 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
