A Thread: #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #LitPOC #BIPOC18 #Bigger6 #MedievalTwitter Read this & realize that there has been no Black scholar who has been published in PMLA in Medieval & Early Modern in 10 years. Realize that if they had accepted our cluster, they would have quadrupled 1/https://twitter.com/acmrs_org/status/1271066008103473152 …

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 That number in one fell swoop. Understand that they rejected us b/c we were "constrained" b/c our collection was about antiracist methodology & they wanted "opposing perspectives," so White Supremacist Racists..1 reply 10 retweets 37 likesShow this thread -

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 & yet here we are w/ PMLA telling us we need white supremacists to have a "debate" about antiracism methods in our premodern fields. So, this is beyond PMLA having token BIPOC scholars as editors, what are they1 reply 8 retweets 34 likesShow this thread -
#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 doing to ensure that their journal is not publishing racist, white supremacist BS? How are they making sure their journal is being antiracist? And apparently just having BIPOC editors does not cut it. 5/1 reply 5 retweets 36 likesShow this thread -

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18 I,@zugenia@DrCCedillo are on a panel at MLA about journal editing & inclusivity. PMLA is the #1 example of this racist academic publishing system. It is not just @ representation, IS YOUR JOURNAL EDITING ANTIRACIST? 8/1 reply 7 retweets 33 likesShow this thread -
#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 In addition, realize the cluster was entire BIPOC scholars, why are journals afraid of a special issue w/ no white scholars? Why do they use these "opposing viewpoints" (so racists) & "constrained" euphemisms? 9/2 replies 7 retweets 26 likesShow this thread -
#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 In 10 years, your journal had 4 BIPOC scholars publish articles in premodern. 2 of those we actually erred conservatively in stats b/c we did not know if they were BIPOC but thought they may identify as Latinx. 10/1 reply 5 retweets 22 likesShow this thread
#MedievalTwitter #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #LitPOC #BIPOC18 #Bigger6 If those two scholars do not identify as Latinx, then that leaves just 2 BIPOC scholars who published in medieval/early modern in 10 years. No Black scholars, no indigenous scholars, no Latinx scholars. 11/

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 So sit w/those stats & how utterly ridiculous that is. Consider the utter racist BS of this publishing obstacle course. You know if this is going on at journals, imagine what the publishing houses are like. Fin.1 reply 6 retweets 23 likesShow this thread -
#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC#BIPOC18#Bigger6 Sit w/this folks (ha thought I was done h/t Meg), if this was a Geology journal, they are saying, where are the "flat-earth" papers. Not that white supremacist fascists don't support "flat-earth" conspiracies. 12/1 reply 7 retweets 22 likesShow this thread
