Today I am rereading Robert Bartlett's important (super Euro-focused) essay, "Medieval and Modern Concepts of Race and Ethnicity." funfunfun: http://www.unife.it/stum/lingue/insegnamenti/letteratura-inglese-ii/materiale-didattico-anno-accademico-2018-2019/Robert%20Bartlett-%20Race%20and%20Ethnicity-%202001.pdf …
The lack of footnotes is hair tearing. We are literally writing in the style of the 1950s. I would expect Michael Gomez’s work would be more useful especially his new stuff on race and Islam and West Africa.

Oh yeah, I rely heavily on Gomez. I was revisiting Bartlett for part of a lit review where I'd made an argument I have long since forgotten the support for! :)

It is very difficult to use the medieval history race work mostly b/c they all are stuck in pre-civil right eugenicist definitions and have avoided 60 years of race scholarship in the social sciences. It is like a funhouse white supremacist bubble.
