The Melancholy of Race: Psychoanalysis, Assimilation, and Hidden Grief (Race and American Culture)
Anne Anlin ChengUsing psychoanalytic theories on mourning & melancholia as inroads into her subject, Cheng offers a closely observed & carefully reasoned account of the minority experience as expressed in works of art by, & about, Asian-Americans & African-Americans. She argues that the racial minority & dominant American culture both suffer from racial melancholia & that this insight is crucial to a productive reimagining of progressive politics.
Her discussion ranges from "Flower Drum Song" to "M. Butterfly," Brown v. Board of Education to Anna Deavere Smith's "Twilight," & Invisible Man to The Woman Warrior, in the process demonstrating that racial melancholia permeates our fantasies of citizenship, assimilation, & social health. Her investigations reveal the common interests that social, legal, & literary histories of race have always shared with psychoanalysis, & situates Asian-American & African-American identities in relation to one another within the larger process of American racialization.
A provocative look at a timely subject, this study is essential reading for anyone interested in race studies, critical theory, or psychoanalysis.
