Focusing on the racial dynamics of feminist interpretation, the essays in this collection question such issues as the primacy of sexual difference, the universal nature of psychoanalytic categories, and the role of race in the formation of identity. The essays offer new ways of approaching African American texts with the aim of reframing thinking about the contexts, discourses, and traditions of the American cultural landscape. Calling for the racialization of whiteness and claiming that the psychoanalytic theory should make room for competing discourses of spirituality and diasporic consciousness, these essays intend to bring together incompatibilities - as well as the transfomative possibilities - between white feminist and African American cultural formations.
"This brilliant and timely collection takes us far in documenting the complex intrapsychic worlds and intersubjective relations of race, gender, and culture. Questions concerning how race and ethnicity create and refract unconscious fantasy and self-construction must be at the forefront of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking."Nancy J. Chodorow, author ofThe Reproduction of Mothering
"Bold. Daring. Provocative. This collection of essays emphatically demonstrates that rhetorical meaning, constituted in the text and the world, evolves from mediations of the psychical and the material, the personal and the social. The critical models displayed so forcefully here will not only influence psychoanalytic and feminist discourses but literary and cultural studies as well."Claudia Tate, George Washington University
