“…Moreover, research has historically focused on the perpetrators of dehumanization, to understand extreme outcomes such as war, genocide, and torture. These research findings are consistent: (i) Those who are dehumanized are seen as "less than" human and (ii) in need of control and punishment (Bastian, Denson, & Haslam, 2013); and (iii) dehumanization leads to an increased endorsement of legitimated violence against those dehumanized (Nordberg, Crawford, Praetorius, & Hatcher, 2015).…”

This paper introduces a new conceptual framework referred to as “cumulative dehumanization” to better understand the ways in which dehumanization penetrates individual and collective bodies and minds, cutting across policy and ideology and accumulating materially and affectively over time and space. Cumulative dehumanization illuminates a web of vertical and horizontal, synthetic, and dynamic processes that result in an ongoing racialized, state‐sanctioned dehumanization that is fundamentally cumulative—both temporally and spatially—with a profusion of consequences attached. Within the landscape of aggressive surveillance and policing, we illuminate how cumulative dehumanization can be conceptualized as (i) an active condition of becoming, experienced as an accumulation of dehumanizing moments, structurally imposed on racialized communities under siege; (ii) a wearing down of the racialized and affective body, creating circuits of dispossession for entire communities; (iii) a product and (re)producer of the material and ideological modes undergirding racial capitalism; and (iv) a force met with individual and collective resistance. Linking literature on racial capitalism and affect, to the embodied social psychological phenomenon of dehumanization, cumulative dehumanization serves as a useful conceptual tool to examine the historical legacy of, processes embedded within, and entirety of collective consequences including resistance as inextricably linked. In doing so, we reveal the indivisibility of cognitive, embodied, psychological, social, material, ideological, and political circuits.

“…QIMS is a relatively new method and therefore has been utilised in only a few articles to synthesise data. QIMS has been used to synthesise data concerning topics of social justice like exploring minority police encounters (Nordberg, Crawford, Praetorius & Smith Hatcher, 2016), the experiences of child soldiers (Brownell & Praetorius, 2017), and children's exposure to intimate partner violence (Ravi & Casolaro, 2017). Concerning the topic of minority population's experiences with mental health, one QIMS explored immigrants' experiences trying to access healthcare (Maleku & Aguirre, 2014), but to date, no QIMS has considered the experiences of marginalised populations with PPD.…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern due to the physical, emotional, economic, and life course outcomes. Rates of PPD are significantly higher for marginalised populations and can impact low-income, minority, and/or immigrant women differently when compared to white middle-class women. Commonly studied negative effects of PPD include poor health outcomes, mother-child bonding challenges, and negative child educational outcomes. However, research surveying the postpartum experience and negative outcomes among marginalised women is sparse. This study implemented a qualitative meta-interpretive synthesis (QIMS) methodology to synthesise themes across 12 qualitative research articles surveying postpartum experiences of marginalised women in North American countries. Articles included in the QIMS were extracted from online databases from a 10-year window spanning January 2008-2018. The guiding research question was "What are the PPD experiences of women belonging to marginalized populations?" Constant comparative analysis was used with coding in atlas.ti and themes were synthesised with input of all three authors. Five main themes emerged. The themes are (a) intersections of PPD and poverty, (b) culture and PPD, (c) pressures of mothering, (d) strengths and coping, and (e) abuse affects my PPD experience. Subthemes such as "I keep it to myself" relating to cultural response to PPD and idealised mothering were also discovered. Implications for social workers, nurses, and future research are discussed.

“…Experimentally conducted in a laboratory at a single point in time, the main scope of psychological research on dehumanization focuses on how cognitive processes manifest in the perpetrators of dehumanization to better understand extreme outcomes such as war, genocide, and torture (Haslam, ). The findings of this literature are consistent: Those who dehumanize (i) reveal cognitive processes and related neural responses that reflect a denial of others’ human characteristics (Moradi, ), (ii) view those who are dehumanized as “less than human,” and in need of control and punishment (Bastian, Denson, & Haslam, ), and (iii) increasingly endorse legitimated violence against those dehumanized (Nordberg, Crawford, Praetorius, & Hatcher, ). Most often functioning as a group‐level mechanism of exclusion, dehumanization occurs when perpetrators essentialize the identities of members of a dehumanized group (Savage, ).…”

Amid aggressive surveillance and policing practices, Black Lives Matter has appeared-a social movement whose very name highlights collective resistance to pervasive dehumanization. Psychological studies find the persistent dehumanization of people of color and endorsement of legitimated violence against those dehumanized. As part of broken windows policing, people of color also disproportionately experience discretionary arrests, or charges for low-level, nonviolent offenses legally recognized as noncriminal. Accordingly, drawing upon data from over 200 interviews and surveys, we report on New Yorkers' experiences of dehumanization during discretionary arrests. In doing so, we introduce a new conceptual framework called "cumulative dehumanization," to illuminate an ongoing state-sanctioned, racialized dehumanization that is fundamentally cumulative, both temporally and spatially. We conceptualize cumulative dehumanization as: (a) an accumulation of systemic dehumanizing moments, experienced as an active condition of becoming; (b) a weathering of the racialized affective body, generating various modes of community dispossession; (c) a product and (re)producer of the material and ideological mechanisms upholding racial capitalism; and (d) a complementary accumulation of individual and collective resistance.
