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 text proposes that racial grief is a foundation for racial identity, suggesting that racial identification is itself already a melancholy act. It explores examples from culture and life to show how racial melancholia permeates our fantasies of citizenship, assimilation, and social health.
