Has anyone read Vanita Seth’s ‘The Origins of Racism’, out this month in ‘History and Theory’ (59.3)? It struck me as making quite compelling criticisms of some #raceb4race and #ShakeRace arguments; it’d be interesting to hear what scholars working in those areas make of it.

I thought Seth’s thinking about race through Skinner and Lovejoy on “unit-ideas” was persuasive. I like the way it advocates some different postcolonial ways of thinking about the past too. Have you had a chance to read it yet? R

I've had the chance to look at it and it strikes me that several of the arguments are ones we have heard before. I also wonder why a political scientist is launching a critique of literary scholars and their methods but not through those methods. What is being served here?
