Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation
On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans
Book • 2019
This book combines critical race theory with psychoanalytic thought to investigate the experiences of Asian American young adults, focusing on issues like immigration, displacement, and the model minority stereotype.
It explores how these experiences lead to racial melancholia and dissociation, impacting mental health and identity.
The authors use case studies to illustrate these concepts, discussing topics such as depression, transnational adoption, and coming out in a colorblind age.
