Towards a Phenomenology of Racial Embodiment

On the effect of being reminded of ones own race by others,

...is as if one finds oneself in the world ahead of oneself, the space one occupies as already occupied. One’s lived self is effectively dislodged when an already outlined by very different self appears to be operating in the same exact location.
(Alcoff, 2001: 280)
