This & other projects make a case for why, e.g., the groundbreaking work of Chinese scholars like Deng Xiaonan & many others should be included in #medieval history-I guess you missed the footnotes where their work is cited at length? Translations of their work also in the makinghttps://twitter.com/dorothyk98/status/1070692266426146816 …

Did you read the introduction? What is the point of footnotes when literally the introduction is saying that the transatlantic slave trade and settler colonialism were just "mass migrations" and look, it brought diversity and so that's fine?!?!

Read on, I don’t think this is the argument at all.

I have quoted the quotes on Twitter and on Facebook. So, I am not the only one horrified by this intro. and what it writes. So, either the people writing the intro. and in charge of the volume are terrible communicators, or completely unaware of their colonialist frames.

Either way, peer-review should have flagged this as deeply problematic. And it did not. Neither did the journal itself.

Also, "diversity" w/out actual BIPOC? What is that? Exactly? @SaraNAhmed has an entire book about this and she used to teach in the UK.
