Review ""Performance Anxieties offers deft readings of key texts in the psychoanalytic literature in ways that are both clarifying and compelling, while also pulling the texts consistently toward the social and historical by applying their insights to representation."-"Signs, Spring 1999 Synopsis This volume looks at the on-going debates over the value of psychoanalysis for feminist theory and politics - specifically concerning the social and psychical meanings of racialization. The author indicates how "race" and racialization are not incidental features of psychoanalysis or of modern subjectivity, but are among the generative condition of both.
