There is a distinct lack of rigor in these texts, an ambivalent acceptance of white constructions of identity as though that in itself is a neutral project. These texts are written by esteemed scholars in the field and they are retrograde in their understandings of race 2/

as an epistemological category. Even as they are dubious about race in the early modern period, they write about it with so much authority from their uncritical and uninterrogated racial position. This can no longer be an acceptable methodology. 3/3
