    Two greatest conceits in race scholarship: (1) White scholars can effectively study people of color but scholars of color can’t effectively study White people; (2) scholars of color can’t “objectively” study people of color but White scholars can “objectively” study White people.https://twitter.com/seefryar/status/1203222961278406656 …

    In many ways, it was the worst of all the pieces I’ve read because it was so careful and moving and yet casually asserted this qualification for contributing to the field that eliminates POC and especially Black scholars from the field because they don’t connect to this place.

        seems to me that people of color - scholars or not - study white people ALL THE TIME and are probably more expert than white people themselves.

        This is the blog post in question in the QT. I leave the interpretation to you but this makes several claims that you have to be from the UK and have your own history there to understand it on her level. There is a pretty strong racial subtext here. https://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2019/09/barking-abbey.html?fbclid=IwAR3wfRVptiqaxv2KkjbBWsGU4-98_T31iK6cc5z-4NP1qd9rcDJ_YLk0pYQ …

        I really can't think of any situation in which that would be a decent thing to say, unless maybe "actually she's the love of my life."

        White woman raised poor-to-lower-middle-class in the 1960s & 70s here. 100% certain that this gives me ZERO advantage over PoC in studying people in Early Medieval Europe. We need to lose this whole ancestry/heritage paradigm. That’s genealogy, not history.

        The whole identity shtick. In arts too. Also white people can’t write from PoC POV and presumably PoC can only write from their own arbitrarily defined group POV. Empathy, imagination, tools of trade be damned. Plus projecting identity today on people centuries / millennia ago.

        and from the literary corner, a coda: That Poetic Universality is more rightfully the province of the White Eurocentric literary Spirit, poetic Sensibility, and authorial Voice, and NOT the province of of the traditions of poets and writers of color from anywhere in the world.
