- W3204755152 abstract "Caflisch focuses on some of the cognitive and emotional deformations produced by whiteness’s structural tilt toward mapping people of color below them. Particularly in the minds of white liberals, this tilt generates the concomitant presence of ferocious persecutory guilt – likely the result of the boomeranging of the liberal hosts’ suppressed – rogue – appetites. Thought itself is compromised when having to contend with this wild toggling between the extremes of exaggerated innocence and exaggerated guilt. Caflisch finds hope in the reparative possibilities of “depressive guilt,” a state of mind and action in which a sense of being in the wrong generates a real sense of actionable debt. Consistent with the central spine of the book, Caflisch emphasizes her sense that we are obligated to the external – wronged – object and that we fail that obligation when we limit our work to the project of internal repair. We need access to the world of the wronged object in order to mobilize ourselves into reparative activity in that world. Guilt can both open and foreclose such essential access. Caflisch offers a thorough rendering of the Kleinian and neo-Kleinian literature on both the mobilizing and immobilizing impact of guilt. She also invokes Coates as she takes on the foundational American problem posed by having enslaved Black people and the residual notion that literal financial reparation be made to those people’s descendants. Caflisch’s text is a resounding reminder to all of us white people that we are actually mapped into a real world and that this real world presents us with an ethical demand not only to face up to our own interior struggles to be decent but also to face up to and engage with our exterior struggles, our place here amongst others, and most particularly amongst those others whose very presence serves as an indelible reminder of what being white means – its history, its present, and its future. She reminds us that our guilt can serve us generatively but only if it moves us to a kind of memory that traditional psychoanalysis has, strangely enough, forgotten. She “wants” us to maintain our dignity, our thoughtfulness, our capacities for consciousness as we – individually and collectively – carry the guilt/debt linked to whom we have been and therefore who we might become." @default.
