63 Ann Pellegrini, Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race (New
York: Routledge, 1997), 4. Pellegrini more specifically approaches Freud's question of
racial differences by relating it to his Jewishness. Pointing out the ways in which Jews
figured as emasculated "feminine" and were persecuted as abnormal, asocial being in
Freud's era, she argues that Freud's theories of sexuality and sexual differences were his
way of working out his own racial heritage in an increasing antisemitic climate. For a
further discussion of the influence of Freud's Jewishness on his theorization and the
oversight in psychoanalysis of the complex intersecting points of racial and sexual
differences, see Sander Gilman's Freud, Race, and Gender (New York: Routledge,
1993).
