The Melancholy of Race

- Psychoanalysis, Assimilation and Hidden Grief

About The Melancholy of Race

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.
