Racial memory is a concept in Jungian psychology. Racial memories are posited memories which are passed on through generations as part of a "collective unconscious" and become innate.
Racial memory does not define a memory insofar as a specific recollection of an event; instead it references an inherent genetic recollection of the experiences of the ancestral line of any given individual, and how this influences his or her behavior.
This view has largely been rejected by modern psychologists.
