This list, and Hames-García's article, were profoundly influential to me. I first read it in a Queer Migrations course by his co-editor, Ernesto Martínez, and I modeled my own queer theory quals list on it. Reading queer theory in order, white theorists arrive belatedly.

Teaching them out of order, as Hames-García notes, centralizes white theorists as the queer canon, & makes queer of color critique seem additive, as if they "add" race to queer theory, when white authors actually entered an ongoing conversation & *chose* not to consider race.pic.twitter.com/Le7cWxRLOs

As this list of pre-modern critical race studies makes clear, something very similar has happened in medieval scholarship on race, where white scholars arrive late and then primarily cite and center other white scholars and recent work.https://medium.com/@mrambaranolm/race-101-for-early-medieval-studies-selected-readings-77be815f8d0f …

Hames-García's critiques of queer theory continue to resonate for me when reading recent "critical" white medieval work. He points out the reduction of scholars of color to footnotes in white academics' work, a pattern apparent over and over in medieval work.pic.twitter.com/PDYCs2aDq1

He points out how all of these strategies represent scholars of color as marginal to fields they've contributed to for decades. He shows how Butler, for instance, only invokes race in discussions of POC, contributing to an image of whiteness as unmarked and universal.pic.twitter.com/qNNyHTPut5

In a wonderful new piece,
@DrDadabhoy talks about how the refusal to name Shakespeare's whiteness pushes early modern scholars of color to the margins. The refusal to name whiteness at work in the field helps marginalize scholars of color. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41280-020-00169-6 …pic.twitter.com/jNoaYluToN

We need to recognize and acknowledge whiteness. We need to recognize the erased scholars of color in our fields, and the ones excluded from our fields. I've talked a bit about this in pre-modern critical race studies:https://twitter.com/Tweetistorian/status/1298966789712424963 …

Tweeting Historians @TweetistorianErik Wade (@erik_kaars) here. Today, I want to talk about other peoples' work. Often when we tell the story of scholarship on pre-modern race, we center the work of white people & we represent these discussions as recent. But that's....not true.#MedievalTwitter#AcademicTwitter pic.twitter.com/TUp8rX6sGcNäytä tämä ketju1 vastaus 7 uudelleentwiittausta 32 tykkäystäNäytä tämä ketju -
Reducing scholarship and activism by scholars of color to "critique" centralizes whiteness and white scholars as "productive" and as "moving the field forward." White scholars put scholarship by POC in footnotes. They rarely quote it. I have been guilty of this too.

Many white medievalists now working on race mostly cite other white ppl's *forthcoming* work on race or in collections edited by white ppl. These things frame field-changing work as "forthcoming." But that work has *been written* by scholars of color. It's just being ignored.

As
@DrDadabhoy points out here, what I am describing is Columbusing. I impressively managed to Columbus Columbusing, lolsob. Thanks for the reminder!https://twitter.com/DrDadabhoy/status/1299774942997745665?s=20 …Tweeting Historians lisäsi,
Ambien Papadam, some weird community college, CA @DrDadabhoyYou know what we call this, Columbusing. And don’t think you won’t be asked to account for the critical erasures you’re effecting. We’ve done the reading, and you should have, too. https://twitter.com/Tweetistorian/status/1299689981095575553 … pic.twitter.com/XmiArIZU5J1 vastaus 3 uudelleentwiittausta 27 tykkäystäNäytä tämä ketju
Erik, I got you. I’m also being blunt about the consequences
