Putting the racial dynamics of feminist interpretation center stage, these essays 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. They offer new ways of approaching African American texts and reframe our thinking about the contexts, discourses, and traditions of the American cultural landscape. Calling for the racialization of whiteness and claiming that psychoanalytic theory should make room for competing discourses of spirituality and diasporic consciousness, these essays give shape to the many stubborn incompatibilities-as well as the transformative possibilities-between white feminist and African American cultural formations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing into conversation a range of psychoanalytic, feminist, and African-derived spiritual perspectives, these essays enact an inclusive politics of reading.

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.

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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Abel\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley; her books include \u003ci\u003eVirginia Woolf and the Fictions of Psychoanalysis\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eBarbara Christian\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of African American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley; her books include \u003ci\u003eBlack Feminist Criticism: Perspectives on Black Women Writers\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eHelene Moglen\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and author of \u003ci\u003eCharlotte Brontë The Self Conceived\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Anxieties of Indeterminacy: Subjectivity, Sexuality, and the Emergence of the English Novel\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 425\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 8.96 x 6.01 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453466656946,"sku":"9780520206304","price":66.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/3ac1335875d6263ac504fc7f6c9fa9a7.webp?v=1778831586","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/female-subjects-in-black-and-white-race-psychoanalysis-feminism-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
