As psychoanalysis moves into the space of attempting to make sense of the ways in which social structures are internalized and reiterated through the intrapsychic organization of normative unconscious processes, it is caught in the struggle of rendering invisible power and cultural processes as normal and healthy. Instead, it is our task to bring these processes to light, to illuminate them the way we illuminate the corners of the mind to our patients, and to take them seriously. This is what I attempt to do in this article in addressing the particular psychosocial aspects involved in the oppression of fatness and its connection to white supremacy. Utilizing Eng and Han’s (2000) formulation of racial melancholia and Sabrina Strings’s scholarship on the ways in which the equivalences of thinness and whiteness emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a reaction to Reconstruction-era cultural changes, I work to make sense of my own experiences in a larger body disavowed by my white family.
