"The Racist Fantasy lays out the fundamental fantasy structure that underlies a racist psyche as it develops in capitalist modernity"--

The Racist Fantasy explores the psychic basis for the racism that appears so conspicuously throughout modern history. Racism persists because it ties into an unconscious fantasy structure for those invested in it. The fundamental racist fantasy positions the racial other as a figure who blocks the enjoyment of the racist.
