Seeing both "racism didn't exist yet" and "racism existed way before that" being used to discredit analyses of white supremacy, I am struck by how charges of "ahistoricism" and "anachronism" can work to stall or delimit the expansion of critical race studies.

I'm thinking through anachronism in stage performances of race (and especially blackness) across periods; and I've had huge help from my colleague Kyle Grady, whose work probes ahistoricism in strategic ways to reveal how unstable "racism" has been/is now. https://muse-jhu-edu.proxy.lib.umich.edu/article/628588
