Replying to @zugenia
So, at some point, I am going to ask for suggestions. I have a colleague that just told me that a reader report from an 18th c. journal refuses to believe that race is a thing before the 18th c. What is up with that?

I mean, as a C18ist I can imagine some of the ways this claim might have been framed—there are influential & important arguments in the field about the shift from early modern structures of race to ones that become entrenched with imperial biology, etc.

One urgent question is how rigorously these ideas are being taken up by the folks reviewing—or is a distorted (and WRONG) truism that “race is a C18 invention” being used to prevent scholarship focused on genealogies of racial logic from moving forward

Apparently it’s a defensive race was invented in the 18c. B/c scientific and biological racism...and I am just like jaw drop... we are back to the argument if eugenicists.
