Psychoanalytic perspectives on racism’s persistence

Edited by Christopher Lane, this essay collection brings psychoanalysis into conversation with the study of racism. Its central question reaches beyond overt political division to consider how unconscious fantasies, identities, and irrational forces may help sustain racism across historical and contemporary contexts. With contributions from figures working across multiple fields, the volume frames race as a subject for interdisciplinary inquiry as well as political and social analysis. The book’s emphasis lies in examining the less visible psychological dimensions proposed as part of racism’s enduring power.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in psychoanalytic approaches to race and racism
  • Students and scholars of psychology, cultural theory, and social analysis
  • Those seeking interdisciplinary essays on unconscious identity and political conflict

Book overview

Are divisive political forces the source of the historical persistence of racism and its alarming 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 into a radically new direction----that of unconscious fantasies and identities----offering perspectives from a variety of leading figures in many fields.
