As I sit here in Granada, Spain, I wonder as I wander: when will scholars from Iberian Studies have a legitimate seat at the table to discuss critical race studies in the Middle Ages and early modernity? I find it intriguing and Anglocentric. 1/2 #RaceB4Race #1619Project

Why is it that descriptions, histories, and literary analyses of the African past and its diaspora refract how we narrate the European past, especially those that remain predominantly Anglocentric?

To pursue a Cervantine critique of Monipodio's "monopolies"--criminal, commercial, and/or otherwise--in Riconete y Cortadillo (1613), shouldn't we also unpack the category of race as a disciplinary and ideological monopoly belonging to English?

I think I answered this when people asked or commented after the 1st one. The first one happened b/c MOCs were shut out of Kalamazoo. The entire lineup was everyone shut out of MOC sessions. So this is @ political organizing and that a lot of English lit. scholars were doing it.

Then ACMRS decided they wanted to have a convo also w/ Early Modern particularly w/ those organizing for a while at
#ShakeRace. And so that how that happened. As#RaceB4Race #2 was organized by the Folger, then it's also about institutions willing to step up with resources.1 reply 3 retweets 5 likes -

This is #2, there are 8 more. We are not finished figuring out what all the iterations will look like. But it will change to include different time periods, different geographies, & different fields.

But I do feel like, look folks, #1 was because MOCs who decided to put themselves forward, who were primarily English lit. folks, were shut out of Kalamazoo. Were Iberianists shut out of Kalamazoo? So the whole thing began b/c of academic politics.

But yes, these convos need a wider geographic, linguistic, disciplinary discussions. So the question is who wants to in Iberian studies organize one of the RaceB4Race things? Contact us.
