This commentary engages with Dhwani Shah’s clinical observations on racialized experiences of patients or people of color and of mixed race identity. The author suggests that the racialized ghosts, the unmourned losses or underinternalizations of inner representations, require a reanimating of hauntings. It is argued that racial melancholia reveals not only the problems of internalizations but more significantly an atmospheric death or disablement of culture, race or caste as racialized or minoritized communities endure the crisis of representation
