This essay argues that, for James<\/a>, the visible face and body conceal some genetic \u201creality\u201d or heritage, which he figures in both The Sense of the Past<\/a><\/em> and \u201cThe Jolly Corner<\/a>\u201d as the specter of unacknowledged racial difference. In both works, James fuses evolutionary biology and the ghostly, thematizing turn-of-the-century anxieties regarding miscegenation<\/a>. By transforming a narrative of time travel into one of racial passing<\/a>, James both literalizes the psychological phenomenon of a \u201chidden self\u201d and exposes the central paradox of double-consciousness: the simultaneous recognition and rejection of one’s \u201chidden\u201d racial differences and sense of estrangement from the national family.<\/p>\n
