I speak with Robert K. Beshara روبرت بشارة, Ph.D., a scholar, psychoanalyst, musician, actor, director and artist; he has authored Decolonial Psychoanalysis: Towards Critical Islamophobia Studies (Routledge, 2019), Freud & Said (2021), but I discovered his work through his book, A Psychoanalytic Biography of Ye (2023).
In this conversation, Robert speaks through a psychoanalytically informed lens about Ye, or the artist formally known as Kanye West, Fascism as False Being, the Legacy of Unconditional Love, Black Male Studies, and much more.
