October 15, 2019 – David L. Eng: “Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation”

Poster with text details about David Eng's October 15 book talk.

 

In Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation literary critic David L. Eng and psychotherapist Shinhee Han draw on case histories from the mid-1990s to the present to explore the social and psychic predicaments of Asian American young adults from Generation X to Generation Y. Combining critical race theory with several strands of psychoanalytic thought, they develop the concepts of racial melancholia and racial dissociation to investigate changing processes of loss associated with immigration, displacement, diaspora, and assimilation.
