The Psychoanalysis of Race

The Psychoanalysis of Race

Are divisive political forces the sole source of racism and its recurrence in contemporary society? Or are there also subtler, more intractable reasons for racism's irrational power and historical persistence? This collection of essays takes the study of racism in a new direction--that of unconscious fantasies and identifications--offering perspectives from a variety of leading figures in many fields.

Contributors include: Daniel Boyarin, Jacques Derrida, Alphonso Lingis, Jacqueline Rose, Charles Shepherdson, Claudia Tate, and Slavoj Zizek.
