Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This edited volume draws upon Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to
examine the conscious and unconscious forces underlying race as a
social formation, conceptualizing race, racial identity, and racism
in ways that go beyond traditional modes of psychoanalytic thought.
Featuring contributions by Lacanian scholars from diverse
geographical and disciplinary contexts, chapters span a wide
breadth of topics, including white nationalism and contemporary
debates over confederate monuments; emergent theories of race
rooted in Afropessimism and postcolonialism; analyses of racism in
apartheid and American slavery; clinical reflections on Latinx and
other racialized patients; and applications of Lacan's concepts of
the lamella, drive and sexuation to processes of racialization. The
collection both reorients readers' understandings of race through
its deployment of Lacanian theory and redefines the Lacanian
subject through its theorizing of subjectivity in relation to race,
racism and racial identification. Lacan and Race will be a
definitive text for psychoanalytic theorists and contemporary
scholars of race, appealing to readers across the fields of
psychology, cultural studies, humanities, politics, and sociology.
Contemporary African American and Black British Women Writers:
Narrative, Race, Ethics brings together British and American
scholars to explore how, in texts by contemporary black women
writers in the U. S. and Britain, formal narrative techniques
express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking
about race in a reader. Taken together, the essays also demonstrate
that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow
formal structures and literary techniques from one another to
describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of
black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race.
Narratology has only recently begun to use race as a category of
narrative theory. This collection seeks both to show the ethical
effects of narrative form on individual readers and to foster
reconceptualizations of narrative theory that account for the
workings of race within literature and culture.

African American identity is racialized. And this racialized
identity has animated and shaped political resistance to racism.
Hidden, though, are the psychological implications of rooting
identity in race, especially because American history is
inseparable from the trauma of slavery.In Trauma and Race author
Sheldon George begins with the fact that African American racial
identity is shaped by factors both historical and psychical.
Employing the work of Jacques Lacan, George demonstrates how
slavery is a psychic event repeated through the agencies of racism
and inscribed in racial identity itself. The trauma of this past
confronts the psychic lack that African American racial identity
both conceals and traumatically unveils for the African American
subject. Trauma and Race investigates the vexed, ambivalent
attachment of African Americans to their racial identity, exploring
the ways in which such attachment is driven by traumatic, psychical
urgencies that often compound or even exceed the political
exigencies called forth by racism.
