Melancholy of Race

Auteur: Cheng, Anne Anlin (Assistant Professor of English and American Literature, Assistant Professor of English and American Literature, University of California, Berkeley)
Editeur: Oxford University Press Inc
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.
