Description

Explore a groundbreaking study on the connection between racial identity and psychological mourning. In Melancholy of Race, Anne Anlin Cheng provides an interdisciplinary look at how racial grief functions as a foundation for identity. This work moves beyond seeing racism as the sole driver of racial experience, suggesting instead that racial identification is a melancholic act involving a dynamic of loss and compensation. By applying psychoanalytic theories of mourning and melancholia, Cheng examines how the racial other is both rejected and retained within social structures. This book offers a reasoned account of how social categories are imaginatively supported through these psychological processes. It is an essential read for those studying the intersections of race, American culture, and psychoanalytic theory.

Key Features

Interdisciplinary study connecting psychoanalysis with American culture and racial identity.

Analyzes racial grief not just as a result of racism, but as a core foundation for identity.

Uses psychoanalytic theories of mourning and melancholia to examine social categories.

Explores the complex dynamic where the racial other is simultaneously rejected and retained.

Published by Oxford University Press USA for academic and scholarly reliability.
