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 …

hahaha yeah I have often wondered at the lack of....nuance.... but thankfully that's starting to change! In my field addressing race-related topics in pre-modernity hardly happens at all so I'm one to talk.

It appears it was a white supremacist stance they took and then never let go of when the rest of history decided to work on concepts discussed post-Civil Rights. They have not had to reckon w/ that until now.

It would be nice if they would read what the rest of the social sciences are up to at the very least. I get the sense they will ignore the literature folks and religious studies and art history folks etc. but they could check in w/ their larger area.

Yeah I'd have no leg to stand on if it weren't for CRT, and it's often strange to see people pay lip service to it without understanding its history and context, to say nothing of current scholarship. I like to think folks are getting better about much of this, though...
