The Melancholy of Race: Psychoanalysis, Assimilation and Hidden Grief - Race and American Culture
Cheng, Anne Anlin (Assistant Professor of English and American Literature, Assistant Professor of English and American Literature, University of California, Berkeley)
This study argues that racial grief is not only the result of racism but also a foundation for racial identity. It proposes that racial identification is itself a melancholy act - a social category supported by loss and compensation, rejecting and retaining, denigrating and idealizing the minority.
