THREAD: An edited compilation of Beowulf is out. Many of you will be using it in your classrooms. There are some good pieces in this ie) @b_a_saltzman, D. Hawdbawnik, @MDockrayMiller, M. Pareles & @MaryKateHurley, et al. But, please don’t overlook some very problematic things 1/https://twitter.com/ericamweaver/status/1210356958424752128 …

The editors took the time to acknowledge that in their intro rather than just include PoC in their book. They used a handful of non-early medievalist scholars as shields when some of their work is barely relevant. The pieces on race are almost entirely absent of CRT. 3/26pic.twitter.com/fSaS6mO06i

The way this is worded is such that it's like, blaming BIPOC for not being in it. What the entire hell.

@byjennytan just mentioned that too. As though this was out of the editors' hands. Come on.https://twitter.com/byjennytan/status/1210699584835440640?s=20 …Axel Folio, PhD, BFF of Mr. Bloodaxe added,
Jenny Tan @byjennytanThis wording is so disingenuous and cowardly, with POC as the subject of the active verb, as if their not appearing is of their own agency and/or a result of "the field's" structural problems rather than a decision made by the individuals writing these sentences. https://twitter.com/ISASaxonists/status/1210667914354925568 …Show this thread1 reply 3 retweets 10 likes
