Minoritized groups facing death-tinged identity develop divergent coping responses

Evidence

Different minoritized groups react to this mediation in different ways. For Jews, the “never again” articulated by Emil Fackenheim as the 614th biblical commandment internalizes a vigilant aggressivity expressed as survival at almost any cost. Radical Muslim political theology rationalizes the violence of its response to what Philomena Essed revealingly identifies as humiliation in terms of the lure of liberatory reward in the afterlife. Native Americans suffer the liquidation of their interests first in the melancholy of disaffected sociality and in some regional states more recently in the turn to conventional electoral politics. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1838
