Racialized trauma and racial enactments are ubiquitous and frequently emerge in our clinical work with marginalized patients. Both Shifa Haq and Lara Sheehi develop compelling and creative explications of “racial ghosts” in my essay “When Racialized Ghosts Refuse to Become Ancestors: Tasting Loewald’s ‘Blood of Recognition’ in Racial Melancholia and Mixed-Race Identities” and offer significant clinical insights in treating racial trauma.
