Kelly Oliver, The Colonization of Psychic Space: A Psychoanalytic Social Theory of Oppression (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2004). Building from Kelly Oliver’s work, I suggest that we think of racial subject position as referring to identities constituted by institutionalizing processes and inextricably bound to institutions that thereby yield roles, positions, and functions that facilitate narrative cohesion for ways of life. Racial subjectivity results from negotiating those subject positions through alignment or resistance or something in between.
